(People new to Vista often have trouble with installing/administering software, and some of their mistakes can be seen by searching the archives of this list.)> thabks > > Suzuky** > > > Comparte video en la ventana de tus mensajes (y tambi??n tus fotos de Flickr). > Usa el nuevo Yahoo!

AFAIK No. At home I use R on Vista too. You just need to understand and follow Vista's protection and rights policy.

To add to the other two helpful replies: if the administrator account does
not exist, this info provided for another software program I use may be
helpful:
"Some Windows Vista installations may have the Administrator account turned
off. If so, it is easy to turn the true Administrator account on. To do so,
open the Control Panel and open the User Accounts applet. If you do not see
any accounts named Administrator, this account is disabled. To enable the
Administrator account, do the following:
* Click Start, type cmd into the search pane, wait until the system
displays the cmd.exe item at the top.
* Right click the item and choose Run as administrator.
* In the opened command prompt, type net user administrator /active:yes
and click Enter, then log off.
* There will now be an Administrator account enabled.
* Log in as the Administrator to install and to activate Manifold."

R works on Vista provided you have learned enough about Vista to get around the enhanced security model. Microsoft One Care software and the overall better security of Vista is, in my opinion, much superior to Norton/Symantec/XP. Many people use Skype these days and Skype is not officially supported on Vista so if you want to use that it may or may not work. My Vista system crashed shortly after I tried Skype and reverted back to a prior checkpoint at which point I lost several programs I had installed including Skype although I did not lose any files that I had created myself. It may have been a driver issue and not Skype, per se, though the fact that Skype is not officially supported makes Skype a prime suspect. My Vista system had never crashed before that nor has it crashed since then. If you search the net you see some people having problems with Skype on Vista whereas others say they have run it daily with no problem. There are significant changes in Microsoft Office 2007 including new XML based file formats rather than the old formats (although you can read and write the old formats too), substantial changes in Office user interfaces and a focus on .Net in place of COM although COM is still supported enough in Office 2007 to run old software. R packages supporting .Net, similar to the R packages rcom and RDCOMClient for COM, would be nice to properly support Vista but I don't think such R packages exist yet. Other than the lack of Skype support I do like Vista and have been able to get rid of numerous small utilities that I used under XP since Vista has many of these facilities built in.

Dear Suzuky, basically you can run R on Vista like you can on Windows XP. However, there is one issue about installing additional packages : When launching R under Vista, by default you won't launch as administrator, and in consequence you can't install additional packages (i.e. installing conveniently from within R) in the path where the other packages are located (since this is usually in "Program Files"). Note that you still CAN install and run the packages but (in this case) you'll be installing the packages in a new folder in Contacts/Documents/ , which is -in my opinion- not the best place to store them (and they won't be available for other users on the same PC). So, if you know you'll be installing I suggest you to launch R with a right click and select "as administrator" and then you can install new packages in proper way.
