You can download and use microsoft’s “Remote Desktop Connection” software to see your wife’s Windows computer over the network and basically control it from your mac. Connect via an ethernet cable or wirelessly. The killer is she needs the right version of Windows for it to work. For those of us that occaisionally need to do something windows specific – I understand a cheap windows box and this software is an excellent substitute for Virtual PC<BR>
