"I've purchased the Windows Vista on a internet page."
AFAIK, Vista is not available for purchase on the internet.
Is it a Microsoft site?
What is the link?

The first thing to do is try and cancel the payment to this scam website.
You cannot buy Vista until after the release date on January 30, 2007.

Unfortunately, that was probably a scam. Vista has been released to
businesses, but not to the general public.

I hope you can get your money back or stop the payment.

The thing about Vista is, that you can use the install you have for 30
days. At that time, you will have limited use until you either get a
proper key or you go in and save your files (which is about all you
will be able to do) and go back to a previous OS.
