Vista - Can 1 copy of vista be installed on 2 computers?

I just bought Windows Vista ultimate, I have 2 computers in my house and was
wondering if i would be able to install Vista on both my computers with the
same copy or would i have to buy a second copy if i wanted to install it on
both computers

You'll have to buy a second copy.
You can install one copy on two computers, but the second install
will fail activation.

There is a way to buy a second license, which is cheaper than buying a whole
second OS.
Search the Microsoft site for info. Not sure which Vista versions it may be
limited to.
