A knowledgeable Microsoft source says:
> Windows 7 and Vista (but not Server 2008) use randomized addresses by default,
> but it can be turned off as noted. This is in line with RFC 4941.
> RFC 2464 did not envision privacy addresses or CGAs. Windows is more robust
> against address scanning as a result. Server OS's like 2008 already have
> this off by default, so that part of the post is in error.
