The cloning operation in vmware (and most likely others too) give the new
machine enough new hardware to trigger revalidation of XP, which is a pain
when you have a lot of different software which might step on each others toes.

What's the problem? So it sees a requirement to reactivate and you click "ok." At worst it says you've activated too many times and you call MS and say "moved into a VM" and IF YOU HAVE A VALID LICENSE they just give you the code over the phone. I've done it numerous times w/out a problem.

Of course, if you're saying that you've got one license and you'd like to run it in numerous VMs... well I can see the problem. :-)
