Yes, thats exactly it, $5000! This is why several of us are using R right now , figuring the 5k is better put toward hardware. In fact, they wanted some huge fee to _transfer_ a license from a Sparc 20 to a U10, so we loaded R on that too. I can't help but bash S+ for customer support like that ( I mean the license was _paid_ for, we just wanted to decommision a machine and upgrade, but couldn't take the license with us...go figure) As for Brian's comment: The rates they quoted me were "government" rates, which are probably greatly inflated over academics (my email address is a little misleading...i'm actually at fws.gov) andy
$5000 for a single station license?? (I presume single station rather than single user is their argument for the higher price for Linux than for Windows running on the same computer.) That should be a real popular idea in the Linux community. BTW, I don't know if you noticed it but the web page that Cheryl Mauer cited http://www.mathsoft.com/splus/splsprod/splslinux.htm mentions Linux exactly once - in the title.
