I haven¹t done this ­ but I¹ve read good reports elswhere.

You can download and use microsoft¹s ³Remote Desktop Connection² software to
see your wife¹s 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

I've found Instant Messenger to be an effective way to transfer files
between PC's and Macs. My ex used to backup to my mac that way when she
needed to reinstall on her gateway every three months or so. For some
it's a lot simpler to set up and get working than normal file sharing.
