I think you'll have to ask Microsoft.
Ivania; Microsoft is unlikely to answer. You need to realize that the device you have does not use the same processor or software API used by regular Windows 8 machines. Programs need to be compiled for "Windows Runtime (WinRT)". Microsoft considers the incompatibility of the Surface with open source programs to be a "feature" protecting the unwise users from contamination by the outside world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_RT#Differences_from_Windows_8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_RT#Software_compatibility Welcome to the Hotel Microsoft. -- David. > > Duncan Murdoch > >> >> Ivania Andrade >> > David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
