Can you help me with my software licensing issue?

I recently heard that Microsoft allow you to install OEM version of windows 7 into Virtual Machine. I'm not 100% sure whether it is true or not and would like to re-confirm with you guys.

FYI, I have 2 computers. Let's say "computer A" and "Computer B".

I bought a copy of WIndows 7 Professional OEM edition recently and already installed it on my Computer A. I've two questions:

  1. Is it legal to install it again on a VMWare/Virtual PC on my Computer A?
  2. Is it legal to install it on VMWare/Virtual PC on my Computer B?

Thanks.
