[R] windows vista

[Wolfgang Raffelsberger]

Dear Suzuky,

basically you can run R on Vista like you can on Windows XP.

However, there is one issue about installing additional packages :
When launching R under Vista, by default you won't launch as 
administrator, and in consequence you can't install additional packages 
(i.e. installing conveniently from within R) in the path where the other 
packages are located (since this is usually in "Program Files").  Note 
that you still CAN install and run the packages but (in this case) 
you'll be installing the packages in a new folder in Contacts/Documents/ 
, which is -in my opinion- not the best place to store them (and they 
won't be available for other users on the same PC).  So, if you know 
you'll be installing I suggest you to launch R with a right click and 
select "as administrator" and then you can install new packages in 
proper way.
