David,

I can't believe I'm going to disagree with you here (well it's a small
disagreement :-).  The installation of R on a Win32 platform is about as
easy as any program I have ever installed.  Just download the Windows
installer for the Windows binary from CRAN, double-click the installer,
accept the defaults, and presto-change-o the program is installed.  To
improve performance you can download a tuned BLAS dll (also from CRAN),
copy it to the R\bin directory, and you are ready to go.

Also HTCT :-),

I was about to respond similarly.

I had no trouble installing R (and I often do have trouble with such
things).  LEARNING r is another matter, but the matrix stuff is pretty
straightforward, AFAIK..
