From the user's point of view the main difference is that the (D)COM server remains totally invisible whereas when using rcom the user also has full access to the RGui. I you develop things in R, it is probably better to use rcom. The easiset way to install this is installing the packages rcom and RExcelInst from CRAN. Start by trying this.
