So what happens when it's installed on a second PC?

Depends.

More than 120 days after the last activation, then the second
installation should be easily activated via the internet.

I actually activated the same copy over the internet on two different
machines within FIVE days of each other, a short while ago.

Maybe because one was a desktop and one was a laptop?

Nope. Just the flakiness of Microsoft Product Activation.

No, one computer with one hash per XP. You were lucky. Did you have the same
luck with the Windows Genuine Advantage over at Windows Update?

Haven't done that. The laptop now has Zenwalk Linux on it.
