64bit?

Thanks.

I know someone who has (but I don't know if it was 32 bit or 64 bit). 
He had a little trouble installing, because Vista tightens security 
slightly:  you need to run the installer with higher than default 
permissions.

Whichever version of Vista you run, R will be 32 bit for some time to 
come:  we don't have a 64 bit toolchain available yet, or a volunteer to 
do the builds.  (I'm unlikely to be upgrading to 64 bit Windows in the 
foreseeable future.)

I've run R on the 32 bit version of Vista.  Because of Vista's extra
security controls you can't install a library easily, however, even though I
had not trouble installing R.  You must first set the security level to
allow it (I can't recall the details but it's not to difficult to figure
out), then install the libraries, then re-set the security levels.
