Message:R U kidding me?
my one physical computer is actually multiple computers?
I'll have to remeber that when I try to sell it.... :-)
So, is there any solution that is available for testing and evaluating?

Yes, VMs allow you to use one computer as many.

agreement allows for installation on one computer and a VM is considered a
separate computer.

The actual software media is irrelevant - it's the licence which is
important...
Would your software licence allow you to install this copy of XP legally on
two physical computers...?
Virtual machines are considered identical to physical machines as far as
Microsoft software licensing is concerned...

No I'm not - why would I do that...?
No - your one physical computer is actually one physical computer with
virtualisation software installed on it...
Get an MSDN subscription - then you can install Windows on as many virtual
machines as you want, so long as you do so for development and testing etc.
