It worked with no hitches for me, and the online activation didn't so much as hiccup.
Unfortunately, the most-recent time I had to move HDs it was due to a massive series of bad sectors on the source disk, so the Backup and Restore option in that thread wasn't, er, an option. But with how easy it was (using SysPrep) the first time, I have no doubt that if the drive had been salvageable it would have worked.
