Your friend is completely wrong. Whether it's XP Professional or
Home, the rule for XP is exactly the same as it's been with all
previous versions of Windows--one copy (or one license) for each
computer.

The only thing new with XP is that there is now an enforcement
mechanism.

Will not work. I think it is the corp edition he is talking about.
