Want to be able to access your machine anytime, anywhere? Can't be bothered purchasing a domain name and configuring Dynamic DNS? Microsoft has a solution: the 'Windows Internet Computer Name' - a unique domain name for your computer. There is one small catch though: you have to be using the next-generation networking protocol IPv6 which, although thoroughly integrated into Windows Vista, isn't supported by most home routers yet.

You are confusing U.S.A with the world. Ipv6 is seeing wide and increasing deployment in both Europe and Asia (China and Japan in particular).
While it wont have worldwide deployment tomorrow it certianly won't be 20 years.
You do realise that in the US of A, people are still haven't figured out metric, and are running about measuring things with various body parts? ;-)
Worldwide means everywhere in the world, including America (and third world countries). 20 years might be optimistic.
