Great idea, Lou! I'll definitely submit an abstract about REvolution R Enterprise and what it takes to get R used in a commercial setting.

Hi Peng

Depends on what you mean by R-PLUS. Just to be clear:
R is the original open source application. More info, pointers to resources available at http://www.r-project.org/.

S+ is the commercial forerunner of R, developed and sold by TIBCO (my company). More info here. We offer online training courses on both S+ and R. You can find more info on our Training site here

REvolution offers a separate distribution of R called R Enterprise (as David mentions in his previous post) which you can find out about here.

I believe "R-PLUS" is a separate distribution of R offered by XL Solutions

Hope this is useful for you.
Lou

What is meant by a commercial application of R? Do you mean using R in an commercial environment or do you mean a stand-alone software application that is developed or interfaced with R?

I use R to do predictive analytics to help detect consumer fraud.

I meant both, actually. Mainly the former (using R in a commercial environment to solve a significant business problem), but also the latter. Sounds like you have a great application for this, and I encourage you to submit an abstract for useR 2010.
