It is for work. So she could network two computers better.
The boss wants to to be able to access everything from both computers.
One computer will be a home computer upgraded to a pro.
Another computer will be a windows 98se computer

Is there any special license for two computer for a sort-of-non for
profit agency ? Microsoft Office and Maybe xp pro.

What is the name of the current version of Microsoft office that
includes all products? Access, Word, Publishers, Excel

I thinking about having her buy the compaq preinstalled computer at
wal-mart for $499 then have her upgrade to pro.

To others,
There is now a xp pro upgrade that includes sp2
