My understanding is that windows hosts are vulnerable to the attack
whether or not IPv6 is turned on on the host.

There are other things (like Teredo) where you have a serious security
hole potential with IPv6 turned off on your network, but turning on IPv6
will prevent  (or at least make it quite a bit harder) to cause problems.
