I am thinking about buying the xp pro upgrade. I have a
wireless network at my house, and i was wondering if you
can install the upgrade on each of my computers on the
network.
 
No. You will need a separate license for each machine. This is part of the
EULA and, you will not be able to activate the product.

No, of course not.

As it has *always* been with *all* Microsoft operating systems,
it's necessary (to be in compliance with both the EULA, if not
technically) to purchase one WinXP license for each computer on which
it is installed. The only way in which WinXP licensing differs from
that of earlier versions of Windows is that Microsoft has finally
added a copy protection and anti-theft mechanism, Product Activation,
to prevent (or at least make more difficult) multiple installations
using a single license.
