(I work for Revolution Analytics.) Here are the main differences: * The GUI allows you to set breakpoints interactively and do step debugging. There's a short video of it in action here: http://bit.ly/bmAlqA * We optimize the compilation and link it against the Intel MKL libraries, which makes some linear algebra routines use all cores and run faster. More details: http://bit.ly/btLUmb * It includes the foreach, doSMP and doNWS packages, for multicore and distributed parallel computing. * It includes the RevoScaleR package (in the upcoming release, out at the end of this month), for statistical analysis of very large data sets. Details in this white paper: http://www.revolutionanalytics.com/bigdata/ (reg. req'd) * It's supported. Otherwise, the core open-source R engine is just that: R (namely, R 2.11.1 in the upcoming release), and so works exactly as you'd expect.
