The correct number from the presentation is 0.238% - only Russia, Ukraine and France have more than 0.5% IPv6.

Depends on what you're looking for, but if you are interested in the amount of users that have any kind of IPv6 connectivity, this undercounts severely because address selection rules on recent OSs typically select IPv4 if their connectivity is 6to4 or Teredo.

Mikael Abrahamsson made a test on a p2p-related web-site, and the result was that 6% of users had IPv6 connectivity:

As shown in later messages, the figure is actually even higher. Teredo users running Windows Vista are not included in that 6% because Vista doesn't do do AAAA lookups at all if all you have is Teredo connectivity.
