I stumbled upon your question.
On Windows, it is easy to use R from within Mathematica.
You just have to download and install the
statconnDCOM server (free for noncommerial use)
from rcom.univie.ac.at

The following piece of code shows how you than
can use R from within Mathematica.

Needs["NETLink`"]
myR = CreateCOMObject["RCOMServerLib.StatConnector"]
myR@Init["R"]
myR@SetSymbol["xxx",12321]
result1=myR@GetSymbol["xxx"]
myR@EvaluateNoReturn["randmat<-matrix(rnorm(100),10)"]
rmat=myR@GetSymbol["randmat"]
result2=myR@Evaluate["solve(matrix(1:4,2))"]
