TSGL: clone drive

[HBCANON]

I read the other answer, and what bothers me is IF you can't pop a copy/clone or restore
an image into another machine and boot to regain your system, what is the point to making
the complete system type backup? Having to secure an  identical mobo is unacceptable. The
least MS should do is let you boot, and then require you to call to procure clearance to
run on the new platform. 
I have heard several versions of this scenario; Which answer is correct? 
I have not had to experience it as yet. The only complete system restore I did was from a
Drive Image image when the system refused to come up after a BSOD.
Anybody out there with REAL experience with this?

Hi, I'm using Acronis True Image, evaluation version.
If I clone an image of my C drive with XP onto another hard drive can I place it into
another computer and have it boot up?
If not what will happen, is there any way I can get it to boot?
