The GUI for R is different on a Mac - it strives to be more intuitive to Mac users, but I don't think there are many features you would miss (you may rather find a couple of new ones). I suspect that R will be your least problem when switching to Mac OS X ;). And BTW if you really crave for Windows version of R you can actually run it on a MacBook Pro in OS X even without installing Windows and it works :) [screenshot at: http://rosuda.org/misc/iMacWin.png the Mac GUI is in the background, the Windows GUI in the foreground] Cheers, Simon _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
