There has simply been no need to switch until now. Businesses using NAT have delayed the fateful day by years.
Most ISPs don't provide IPv6 to home users, and few consumer grade routers support IPv6. Cisco 8xx routers do. There are probably a few others, but I haven't been looking for long.

Yeah i was thinking of this as well, Windows Vista and 7 are automatically ready for receiving IPv6 although not sure about XP.
