correct, the issue is that the main rpy2 developer do not make anymore
builds for Windows and pyhton > 2.5, unless interested people will find
a way to support this work. As a result the 3 plugins that do make use
of R/rpy2 are not working anymore on Windows. But you can always use
QGIS up to 1.7.3 (that still uses python 2.5) and R <= 2.11.1.
