We tried to virtualize some of our PC's as a DR standpoint because well ghosting only really works when you have exactly the same hardware. Needless to say we had to test it and with winxp OEM license off of a dell box, it wouldn't fire up without going through the activation piece because all the hardware changed. If you try to go through the activation piece it'll say its not a valid key anymore because it was licensed to the physical desktop box and thats it.

So in all reality it wont even work for a little while if you try to do it. Also if you do try and do it anyways it could possibly null out the current OEM license you have now.
