Thought this might be a good place to ask this:

Is it physically possible to take the copy of Windows Vista Ultimate that I already have installed on another PC, and install it on a different PC at the same time?

I know it is not LEGAL, but is it physically possible? i.e. will it cripple itself once it does it's little authentication thing?

I know in the past I have been able to install XP on numerous machines and use the same serial number with no problem. From what I've read, it sounds like Vista has put an end to this practice.
