There is nothing special about R, but you will have to ask Microsoft 
if their products cause problems for other (well written, 
standard-conformant) software.  Their software works at system level: 
R does not install anything at system level, not even registry entries 
(unless selected in an Administrator install).

R is widely used on systems with MS office 2007 installed, but that's 
no guarantee that some rarely used Office option on some version of 
Windows does not interfere with R.

NB: 'R for Windows 2.12.2' is future-ware.
