Regardless, ISP's will have to be dragged, kicking and screaming
to support IPv6 any time before Microsoft makes it the default
networking protocol...

And noticing how they're the most backwards-looking of all
tech companies (look at how MS was the last OS vendor to
even recognize the Internet and adopt TCP/IP), I don't see
them leading the way, or even trying to jump in front of
the parade on this.
