What applications do *end users* use...?  (Those that "do not care").

"Web browser"
"Mail client"  (which usually is Outlook* or Thunderbird)
"Peer2Peer file sharing tool of the week"
"Skype"

- so, as soon as Skype has IPv6, 95% of everything "end users" do is
covered.

One tends to confuse all different sorts of "end users", but those that
really don't need or want to know what IPv4 or IPv6 *is* tend to, at the
same time, only use a limited set of applications, and usually just use
the latest version of these.

My protoype "end user" is my Mom.  Firefox, Thunderbird, Skype.  On WinXP.
