Actually that is a lot less true now than it used to be...particularly if you do it properly and boot the image on the original hardware and run sysprep with the right options before moving it
The only real gotcha would be if your mass storage setup is wildly different (ATA vs AHCI, or single disk vs hardware raid that sort of thing) and even then there are ways and means of sorting it fairly quickly.
