R help - Jun 2009 - R on Windows Server

We are starting the process for purchasing a server with Windows Server 2008 OS.
We are mainly interested in storage for multiple users, but would like to have
the capability to run R simulations on the server. Are there any issues we
should be aware of for installing R on the server or with having multiple users
run R simultaneously? Thanks much!

No problem at all. Even the Windows binaries are for CRAN are built by 
multiple users on a Windows server 2008 in parallel. You just need a 
sufficient amount of RAM.
