Yes, in this case the physical hardware would be identical.
However, there is conflict between Alberto's & Kevin's answers... has anyone actually tried it?
And for sure you weren't using a corporate Windows license key? (And not a Server version either.) I recall hearing something like Alberto said re: non-corporate Windows detecting it was in a VM and complaining.
I guess the big part of the question is, if Windows doesn't have a blanket anti-VM block in it, how much of the host hw id info really does "seep" into to guest...
The problem here that testing it might "waste" a paid Windows license. Even if we bought 2 licenses and activated twice, I'm not convinced the activation code won't get angry at going back and forth between the 2 boxes.
Man, do I hate Windows and non-FLOSS. Maybe I need to see if my customer could instead forget Windows and make everything work in WINE...
Thanks!
