Hm...  I would imagine that it would depend on the cloning process.  For a 
full bit for bit copy, that would inevitably lead to a cloned DUID.  I would 
hope that, at least in the Windows sysprep process, the existing DUID (which 
appears to be stored in the registry) would be wiped, and a new one generated 
at next boot.

Either way, sounds like something that needs to be tested in the lab before 
extensive deployment =)
