May I use the Windows XP Home software that came with my
computer on another computer at my home?

No.


Or do I have to
purchase a new Windows XP Home?

Yes. The rule is quite clear. It's one copy (or one license) for
each computer.

There's nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that's
been in effect on every version of Windows starting with Windows
3.1. The only thing new with XP is that there's now an
enforcement mechanism.
