Seth,
My experience with Insightful not good. They would not let me install Splus on
more than one machine. Thus I could install it on my office computer, but not
my laptop. Insightfull was willing to give me a small discount on a second
license which would allow me to install on my laptop, but the price was more
than prohibitive. I tired to explain to Insightufull that they would lose users
to R if they persisted in their awful licensing policy but they would not
listen.

Folks:
I need your urgent advise. My lab is about ordering s-plus 7.0, enterprise
edition. It is damn expensive.
In addition to the cost of the site license that my lab already has,
insightful wants me to pay $2200 for upgrade from professional to
enterprise. It is my understanding that the thing we are going to pay for is
the so called "big data library".
My question to all of your, smart people, is it really such a good thing,
this bigdata library, that worth $2200 on top of "professional" cost ?
Is there anything else particularly attractive in s-plus 7.0, as compared to
6.2?
Could you please share your experience?
Also, it is still kind of clouded for me whether or not I will have right
and technical ability to install this version on my laptop and my home
machine.
I remember some kind of discussion of this matter, but not sure what was the
conclusion.
Please, help. We need to BUY OR NOT TO BUY this THURSDAY at latest.
THANKS!!!!
Seth O'Beeth
