The OP asks "how much users of R ?" with an obvious error. Correct it, 
google "how many users of R ?"  and get 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 user 
worldwide.
According to [1]: "R has more than 2 million users worldwide (Oracle 
estimate, February 2012)".
The 1,000,000 comes from a 2009 New York Times article [2], [3]. Clearly 
outdated.
