Re: [R] Philip Morris International - Windows10 migration assessment

2018-08-03 Thread Eric Berger
Hi Kevin,
For what it's worth I use R on Windows 10 Pro with the 16299 build (and
also with a later build on a different Windows 10 Pro computer.)
I also use R on Linux machines (specifically Ubuntu).
I use 64 bit versions but both 32bit and 64bit version are available.
As Peter wrote previously, R itself has no dependency on MS Office products.
However there are thousands of R packages freely downloadable (e.g. from
CRAN but also from other sources.)
Some of these packages may have explicit dependencies on commercial
packages.
(e.g. Rmosek is a free package that makes it easy to access the commercial
optimization software mosek.)
Peter also wrote that the latest release of R is version 3.5.1 which makes
your referenced versions quite old.
As far as I know it is generally possible to install any version of R (even
multiple versions of R) on your computer.
For example, when R 3.5.0 was released recently some users experienced some
glitches (some of which have presumably been fixed in 3.5.1.)
Personally I am staying with R 3.4.2 for a while longer.

If PMI requires "commercial" support and has the budget for it, you might
consider contacting Rstudio.com which produces some of the major
software tools used by the R community - Rstudio and Shiny and additional R
packages. They provide both free and commercial versions of
RStudio and Shiny and should have a lot of experience dealing with
corporate customers. Also by supporting them PMI would be indirectly
supporting
the R community at large which greatly benefits from the work they do.

I hope that helps.

Regards,

Eric Berger

Re: [R] Philip Morris International - Windows10 migration assessment

2018-08-03 Thread peter dalgaard
It is difficult to answer such questions authoritatively, but

- we have, to my recollection, no reports of major incompatibility with Windows 
10

- however, the version numbers of R increase with .1 per year, and we are 
currently at 3.5.1, so your versions are 4 and 5 years out of date. Most users 
are upgraded at least annually, so problems with older versions could go 
undetected

- there is no external cost of migrating to a newer version. R is free 
software. Rolling it out within an organization could require some manpower, as 
could sorting out changed behaviour of R and its add-on packages. It should be 
fairly easy to do a test install of 3.5.1 and run it by your user base to see 
whether there are issues. 

- R works cross-platform and has no specific dependency on MS Office products

- R can interact with Java, but Java is not generally a prerequisite. You may 
want to check whether your users use packages with Java dependencies

- Peter Dalgaard

Suggest you take a look at the R website at www.r-project.org; the most 
important answers are evident there.

If you 'require' more authoritative answers within a particular timescale, I 
suggest you engage an R consultant and pay for them. This is a voluntary list.

[R] Philip Morris International - Windows10 migration assessment

2018-08-02 Thread Flament, Kevin
Dear R Project team,

I am representing the System Toxicology department of Philip Morris 
International in the scope of a Windows 10 migration project.
This project is currently at the end of the assessment phase. We would require 
an answer to this email by the end of this week.

I would like to ask you some questions related to the following software we are 
using at PMI :

R for Windows 3.0.2
R for Windows 3.1.2

Are all of those software compatible with Windows 10 Enterprise (version 
10.0.16299 build 16299)?
Are all of those software compatible with Windows 10 LTSC (version 14393.2399)?
Are those software compatible with a 32 and/or 64 bit version of Windows 10?
Are those application dependent on MS Office?
Have those applications any pre-requisites? Such as Java, .Net, Oracle.

If the software are not compatible, do you have a new version of this software 
compatible with the mentioned version of Windows 10?
What would be the cost of such migration (instrument replacement if necessary, 
licence cost, ...)?

If the software are not compatible and a new version is not yet available, 
could you give me an estimation for the future release availability?

Best Regards,

Kevin Flament
