Simon, Is that R Windows GUI being run using CrossOver (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/)? I don't see any sign of Parallels in that screenshot.
I'm getting a new MacBook Pro in a week or so, and while it never occurred to me to run the Windows version of R on it, I think it's a fun demo of the capability of the new Intel-based Macs. -Don At 11:42 AM -0500 11/10/06, Simon Urbanek wrote: >Carlos, > >On Nov 10, 2006, at 11:22 AM, Carlos GUERRA wrote: > >> Dear friends, >> >> I'm thinking about buying a MacBook Pro and I wanted to know if >> anyone can tell me what are the major changes, in "R", between a >> Mac, and a Windows. >> > >The R itself is pretty much the same - the major differences are in >the OS (better support for virtual memory, 64-bit support, it's a >unix etc.) but not R (basically because we develop R primarily on >unix and use unix-based tools to create the Windows version).
