Hello R users,
 
I am currently taking "Inference for R" for a test drive. This is an
add-on for Excel that allows you to pull R code into an Excel
spreadsheet, treating Excel data tables as R dataframes. It then spits
out the results to an Excel worksheet.  Very slick, with a shorter
learning curve than Sweave or ODFweave.
 
The only problem is that it markets itself through an annual license
fee. The fee itself is not high for what you get -- the ability to turn
a piece of office furniture into a stats package -- but before I pitch
this to my manager, I would like some reassurance that Blue Reference
(the company that writes the software) is likely to stick around for a
while.
 
Does anyone have any experience with "Inference for R"?
 
Thanks,
