Just open it, illy files are cross platform. The only real issues you may encounter are with fonts, especially machine specific ones.

EDIT: You may need to add an extension to the file name if the Mac hasn't added one.

....and common methods of "getting it onto your Windows machine" include 1) network file transfer, 2) sending as an e-mail attachment, and 3) "sneakernet" (e.g., have wife burn ISO9660 CD on her Mac, then walk it over to your Win machine).

Sometimes I think I never should have left the simple world of carpentry...
Thanks for the replies. I guess I should say that I can e-mail the logo to the windows machine but it is different looking proportionally, as well as unwanted font changes etc. and broken up in some places. I tried to clean it up, but there has to be a better way that I am missing.
I can also open the logo file using different extensions on the Windows machine, but again, quality suffers.
"sneakernet" same thing, loss of quality.
If I am so clueless that a read of any remedial help would be my answer, so be it.

Outline all fonts. Save. Open on the PC. There's nothing more to it.

Buy a Mac.

On your wife's machine you should convert the text to outlines and save as a new file. Then send that one by email to your machine. It will open up looking the same, but you won't be able to edit it.
