Has anyone compiled list of MS and non-MS Windows programs, that work with IPv6 on XP? Do they understand style [::] addresses? How do they do address selection between 4 and 6? Always use the first one returned by the DNS?

If all wininet.dll using programs work automatically with proper address selection and DNS calls, how come XP IPv6 docs only mentions IE, ftp, telnet, Network Monitor & other utilities...? How about Office programs? Other MS Programs? 

How about Linux distributions? What are the IPv6-ready packages in RedHat 8? Debian Woody?
