Mac or Windows...?
I know that, but there might be something out there that I haven't heard of. For all I know, maybe Simon is smart enough to install Wine without CrossOver. -Don (and apologies to everyone; I actually didn't think the question was worthy of r-sig-mac and meant to send it only to Simon)

Well, you couldn't run it without Windows if it used Parallels, so it must be CrossOver. On Nov 10, 2006, at 09:06 , Don MacQueen wrote:
Simon, Is that R Windows GUI being run using CrossOver (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/)? I don't see any sign of Parallels in that screenshot. I'm getting a new MacBook Pro in a week or so, and while it never occurred to me to run the Windows version of R on it, I think it's a fun demo of the capability of the new Intel-based Macs. -Don At 11:42 AM -0500 11/10/06, Simon Urbanek wrote:

Dear friends, I'm thinking about buying a MacBook Pro and I wanted to know if anyone can tell me what are the major changes, in "R", between a Mac, and a Windows.
The R itself is pretty much the same - the major differences are in the OS (better support for virtual memory, 64-bit support, it's a unix etc.) but not R (basically because we develop R primarily on unix and use unix-based tools to create the Windows version). The GUI for R is different on a Mac - it strives to be more intuitive to Mac users, but I don't think there are many features you would miss (you may rather find a couple of new ones). I suspect that R will be your least problem when switching to Mac OS X ;). And BTW if you really crave for Windows version of R you can actually run it on a MacBook Pro in OS X even without installing Windows and it works :) [screenshot at: http://rosuda.org/misc/iMacWin.png the Mac GUI is in the background, the Windows GUI in the foreground] Cheers, Simon
