[R] R runs on Windows Server 2012?

[Chris Solomon]

Hi-

Can someone confirm whether R runs on the Windows Server 2012 OS, and if so whether there are any significant differences from running on e.g. Windows 7 that I ought to be aware of?

The R for Windows FAQ (URL below) seems to indicate that running on Windows Server 2012 is possible, but the text is a little vague and I haven't been able to find any clear answers on the mailing list archives. We are considering spending a chunk of money on a small server and I want to be very sure that R will run before we do.

Thanks
Chris
