The OP said they have a new computer. If their copy of Publisher was an OEM
version on the old computer, then they need to purchase another copy of
Publisher. I don't believe the OP meant to ask if he/she had to purchase
Vista.

You misread the question. Why would the OP have to buy Vista, an operating
system?

If you purchased your copy of Publisher separately from your computer, no.
If it came preinstalled on the old computer, yes.
