When I last looked at this (Windows Vista?), the consumer Windows license would not allow virtualization. Maybe it has changed since. Windows has historically disallowed things that could enable copies of Windows to be viable. Silly example: you could not install Windows onto a USB device. Windows (used to?) discover illicit copies whenever a sufficient amount of hardware change had happened. All these might be artificial but intentional barriers to your project.
