do i believe that ipv6 when fully implemented will make the internet better.. i dont know..
a network is always going to be limited by its weakest point and i think that network capacity outweighs ipv6. its easy to design something on paper, but until its fully tested in a live environment, i wouldnt speculate on the outcome..
on paper, is ipv6 better than ipv4.. yes it is..
will it make a difference on the overall internet experience? time will tell..

Looks like we dont completely disagree after all. To complete the speculation, I often hear people say that all the benefits we gain from when its fully implemented, will even out the traffic increase and content demand. I dont know if that is true, but time will tell as you said yourself.
The only thing I know is the huge benefits I have seen myself in live enviroments and during labtests. My sites and services are almost exclusively Windows based, so the native QoS is not only a shortcut, but also increase the potential capacity of the infrastructure.
