It's not possible. Microsoft will be able to detect if the same key is being used by two machines, hence you'll fail the WGA validation, anyway

not completely wrong, if you buy original and just change the cd key it's allowed...

yup, deric88 is right. Microsoft only detect prirate cd by using their cd-key. So microsoft factory will produce million n million of cd in 1 nite (all same software in different cd only), and mayb use 1 computer to produce million n million cd-key (which this cd-key is how they make money).
