Eh? Dangerous in what way?

Do you mean running a given installation on "bare hardware" sometimes 
and under VMware at others? Assuming you install enough hardware 
drivers (disks and video would need two each, probably), the only 
problem I can think of is the fact that Windows sees different hardware 
configurations and under XP and later this can trigger Windows 
Activation to decide that the installation has moved to a new machine 
in violation the license.
