I own several computers and was wondering if I can run Office Standard 2007
on more than one computer at a time?

See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA012340811033.aspx "Read the
Microsoft Software License Terms". Section 2 "Installation and Use
Rights" tells you how many computers (and what types of computers) you
can install your copy of Office on. Generally speaking, an OEM
(preinstalled) copy of Office 2007 Standard is licensed for installation
only on the computer that the software came with, and a retail-box copy
of Office 2007 Standard is licensed for installation on one desktop and
one laptop owned by the same person.

What does that mean?

From what I gather, if you buy the MS office suite, it can be installed on a
desktop and a laptop, but not for simultaneous use.

How would microsoft know if the computers were being used simultaneously?

And what could microsoft do about it?

Microsoft, as all other software manufacturers, trusts that you will abide by the license terms. They can do nothing to you but your conscience can.
