XP on two PCs

I have a Dell hooked by KVM to my system. Can I load XP on it too? Can I activate it?

Nope, they are still 2 computers and you need 2 licenses.

You cannot activate the same copy of XP on two seperate computers.

No! One license allows you to install on one computer only. To try to install a disk that is licensed to your Dell is illegal.
