Installing XP on 2 comps with same reg key

[UiriamuChan]

What would happen if I install Windows XP on two computers with the same registry key?

To state the obvious - unless you have special accomodations from Microsoft, that would be illegal.

I'm not saying I will do it, I'm just asking what would happen?

Just like with any other illegal thing, you will get caught and prosecuted.

Do you think that the internet/phone registration means nothing?..of course they would find out, and take legal action.

No, they will just refuse to activate the second install.
