Like Simon I am very often limited with choice of software and OS when
working for clients. I've been waiting for about 5 months to get an editor
installed on my machine. I have requested emacs but will settle for anything
but the current choice - MS Notepad (I'm serious). 

The first time we requested an R installation we waited about 3 or 4 months
(thanks to constant pressure from our statistical guru). To get the latest
version of R we had another 3 or 4 months wait! Then when we finally got it
(version 1.6.2) then next version had been released a week earlier (1.7.0 -
I think)! Very frustrating!

As you can imagine every time I read "Please upgrade to version 1.7.x" - I
just wish it was so simple! 

Best regards,
Saghir
