You can install 1 copy of Quicken (I think that should apply also to H&B)
on 2 or 3 computers, as per the license, but you'll have to check. You
will need to install on her machine so she can use the communal database.
Just be very careful not to try to access the same files at the same
time, or you'll need the backup. Now, whether QHB2007 works on Vista, I
don't know, but I had the demo Q2007 working on Vista home basic before
upgrading to Q2008. If you go and buy new software, you can go 2 ways,
Ebay for Q2008, or straight to Q2009, so as to get another year out of
the software.
My opinion counts for me, but you have to decide what it's worth to you.
