This book's theme of demonstrating the power of R as statistical tool through the broadly used business software Excel is helpful in proliferating the use of R by making it more user friendly for broader audiences focused on results more than technical implementation esoterics.

I didn't read this very closely, but it looked like a useful, screenshot driven guide to using the R package RExcel with Excel running on MS Windows.
