To make a IPv6 connection, doesn't every node, router, stack have to be IPv6 or how does it work with IPv4 ?? Can it go....

PC with v6 -> v4 -> v4 -> v4 -> Yahoo with v6 ?

Is there any ISP that is handing out IPv6 addresses ? and what about all the hardware ??

Simplified, the IPv6 packets would need to be encapsulated into IPv4 packets before being able to traverse the IPv4 network. I doubt if the required gateways are in place to make it happen end to end, but I don't know.

Here's a link describing a How To for getting IPv6 connected.

As you would expect, you need a proxy, gateway, tunnel, etc to transport your IPv6 across the v4 world until it dumps off into the v6 world.
