Under the "right" circumstances.

I have had success doing this with Linux, but Windows always blue
screens whenever I try this. I have never figured out whether this is
because of all the anti-piracy crap or if it's just a bug. But I
wouldn't count on the new hardware wizard magically fixing everything on
a Windows system if you try to boot the same image with different
hardware (virtual or physical).
