R help - May 2008 - [OT] xemacs on windows vista

Hi, dear all,
I just switch to vista (ultimate) and have heard there is some problem
for the installation of xemacs on vista. Is there any insight or
experience that you could share? I really appreciate any input.
thank you so much!

Yes: go with GNU Emacs. There doesn't seem to be any compelling reason  
to prefer XEmacs nowadays. And if you use my distribution

	http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/emacs

you get a wizard based installation with up-to-date AUCTeX and ESS  
built-in.

Otherwise, I have never heard of special issues on Vista.

Hi,

I don't know about XEmacs, but I am using a specially bundled
version of GNU Emacs by Vincet Goulet which is great. I was
using a plain-vanilla version of GNU Emacs before, but this one
has ESS  and spell check support built in :-)

I am using it under XP .. I believe this also works under Vista
