Thanks, Alex! It was quite the push and more complicated than thought, however, the more we do, the more we learn.

Congratulation on the launch. This is awesome improvement!

Re: What do you want? More RAM, and R support.

I think most people will get your idea.

When you implement R support, be sure to focus on package installation and availability from CRAN. Most R users use at least one optional package.

In case this sounded too ranty - obviously MathWork's whitepaper is the perfect solution for some people. Monkey Analytics is based on GNU Octave, and some people will still need MathWorks only Matlab features or other offerings that make all the overhead and complexity rational.

That said, we still think MathWorks would be smarter to offer it all in a neatly tied up package, but that is a very different business model from their expensive professional licenses, which they are clearly trying to protect.
