Microsoft is preparing to release the next version Windows Operating System Windows Vista . As you may expect, Windows Vista The new feature will be configured. However, one thing that surprised me was that Microsoft TCP/IP The Protocol method has made some important changes. Windows Vista Will be the first supported by default IPv6 Protocol Windows Release version. Microsoft will be enabled by default IPv6 Feature Methods highlight the importance of this protocol, you may want to know how to use IPv6 What are the benefits.
