[R] UNSOLITED E_MAILS: Integrate R data-analysis projects with Microsoft Office for free

[Gorden T Jemwa]

Dear R Admins,

I received an unsolicited e-mail from BlueInference as an R 
user. Does it mean that R that our e-mails (and  names) is 
sharing it's user database with third parties without our 
consent? Or perhaps the BlueInference guys are using an 
e-mail address miner to get our contact details?

Dear Gorden Jemwa,

As a fellow R user, I am sure you agree with me that R is a 
dear gift from the R-project community that should enjoy 
broad use.  Towards that end, we’ve built a software 
solution directed at the very large community of Microsoft 
Office users, called Inference for Office.  It combines the 
powerful data-analysis capabilities of R with the familiar 
and flexible word-processing and data-preparation features 
of Microsoft Word and Excel.  We are making Inference for 
Office available for free to R users at educational and 
non-profit research institutions.  A free trial is available 
for everyone.

With Inference for Office, you can assemble all the elements 
of an R data-analysis project (text, data, R objects, R 
code) into dynamic documents.  These dynamic documents can 
then be executed in real-time to create results documents 
containing all the output and graphics.  If Inference for 
Office is of no interest to you, please disregard this 
message and accept our humble apologies for having bothered you.

If Inference for Office sounds like it might useful, you can 
obtain additional information by visiting our website and 
viewing a two-minute screencast overview of Inference for 
Office:

While you're there, you can also download a free trial of 
Inference for Office

To your success,

  --Ben
