Hi,
I had a question that might not seem obvious to me.
I was wondering why there was no patnership between microsoft the R core
team and eventually other developpers to improve R in one unified version
instead of having different teams developping their own version of R.
As far as I know, there's only one version of R currently being
developed. Microsoft doesn't offer anything different; they just offer
a build of a slightly older version of base R, and a few packages that
are not in the base version.
Actually, I think my first sentence above is wrong. Besides the base R
that the core R team works on, there are a few other implementations of
the language: pqR, for instance. But as others have said, the
Microsoft product is simply a repackaging of the core R, so my second
sentence is right.
