Whether or not you can open documents depends on whether or not you have an application which can open those documents. So if you saved a Microsoft Word document as a .doc file, you would need a version of Microsoft Word running in Vista in order to open it. The operating system itself doesn't matter as long as you have an appropriate application.

Is windows XP Vista better than just Windows Vista or is it the same thing?

There is no such thing as "Windows XP Vista." There is Windows XP and there is Windows Vista. They are two different versions of the Windows operating system (XP is older than Vista). As to which is better (XP or Vista) if that is your question -- I think most people would say that XP is better, but this probably depends on which operating system you are used to and what type of work you do with the computer. That said, even Windows Vista is out of date, now. New machines will have Windows 8 (or Windows 7 if it is slightly older).
