R help - May 2008 - R outside of universities

R has spread far and wide with great success.  It is not only used  
extensively in universities, but also apparently in governmental  
organisations and in industry.  As the recent discussion of R's Pros  
and Cons shows, there are many reasons for this.  It would be  
interesting to know just how widely R is used, where it is used most  
(and where least or not at all).  Does anyone have a good overview?

I don't really have a good overview, but the following page might give 
some indication where people are using R:

Hope this helps a bit,
