"... two main drawbacks of R at our firm (as viewed by our IT dept) are lack
of
guaranteed support as well as the difficulty in finding candidates.


-- Just an aside: "lack of guaranteed support" -- absolutely true in theory,
absolutely false in practice. I doubt that the voluntary support found on
r-help and other R lists can be matched by the "guaranteed" support of any
commercial software product. Not that this makes a difference to the IT
group's requirements, of course...

Cheers,
Bert
