[R] REvolution

[John Maindonald]

Does anyone know any more than is in the following press release
about REvolution Computing and their commercialization of R?

http://www.intel.com/capital/news/releases/080122.htm

"Intel Capital, the global investment arm of Intel Corporation, today  
announced that it has invested in the Series A financing of REvolution  
Computing, creator of parallel computing software for computational  
statistics"

"R has become the de-facto statistical language and REvolution  
Computing's R-based solutions provide the necessary scale and support  
for its growing commercial usage,” said Andre M. Boisvert, Revolution  
Computing board member. “With this investment, Revolution Computing  
can deliver the type of performance that has been missing in existing  
computational statistics offerings."

"For more information on Revolution Computing, RPro, and ParallelR,  
visit
www.revolution-computing.com"

At present though, unless you have better success than me, all you  
will get from the Revolution Computing site is a revolutionary song!
