Do you understand how Open Source software works? There's a difference between 'runs on' and 'supported on'. R 2.6 might 'run on' Windows 7, but that doesn't mean if you have a problem that someone will fix it. The same applies to the any version of R on any operating system really. If you want "support" for R (in the sense of something that props you up when otherwise you'd fall over) then you need to pony up some cash and find a company that does it. These do exist. R-help isn't it. Also, if you find that R 2.6 doesn't 'run on' Windows 7, you could offer to pay an individual to port it. Or even to port your code for R 2.6 onto the latest version. However, R 2.6 is very, very old now. Have you yet tried running R 2.6 on Windows 7? That would be the first thing you could do. Not like it will cost you anything assuming you have a Windows 7 box handy.
