i want a quickish answer.

If i buy this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Windows-Ultimate-Full-Version/dp/B001XCWGII/ref=sr_1_2?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1299263152&sr=1-2

can i install it on my pc, then give it all to my mum and let her install it.....or is it a single use ONLY key?

and will i have to buy the Home premium family pack for me and me mum to use the same key?

One computer only. You'll need to buy two copies (or the family pack).

This is a retail version, you can "move" the license, but you cannot (legally at least) have it installed on more than one PC at a time. The family pack are "upgrade licenses", you are supposed to have a previous version of Windows to use this (but can still do a clean install); there might be ways around this, but then again, not legal.

you can install it on 2 computers but it isn't legal to do so.

If you want to dabble in the gray area, you might want to consider getting a Technet subscription (200$ initially and 150$/year for renewals), you will get something like 5 "evaluation" licenses of close to all of Microsoft's products (each version of Windows 7 is counted distinctly so 5xHomePremium, 5xProfessional, 5xUltimate, ...). This includes the Office products. They are supposed to be for evaluation purpose only, that is why I say it's a gray area ...
