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 That said, even Windows Vista is out of date, now.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).

Why is Windows Vista worse than Windows 7?
Since that is an opinionated question i am assuming you want some opinions why vista is worse than 7. First, vista is not as user-friendly. Second, the windows sidebar (or "gadgets") use a lot of electricity, so a laptop battery did not last long with it enabled. Third, windows 7 has superior speed. Fourth, 7 has a much cleaner, less cluttered interface than vista. Fifth, windows 7 is much more stable than vista. And finally, there is a good reason that they gave up on vista and made windows 7. Any simple Google search will tell you that.

The reason could possibly be that Windows Vista was an upgrade, and had an upgraded firewall. Windows Vista also had Windows Defender installed by default, however, XP required a download for it. Windows Vista also patched several common exploits in Windows XP which were being used in viruses.
Why won't The Sims Collection work on Windows Vista?
Maybe it's because of compatibility issues with 64 bit windows vista. If your not running 64 bit vista than it won't work on vista at all. Go back to XP. It might work on Windows 7, and it would definitely work on windows XP Mode. But you have to have pro or ultimate to have XP Mode. Since 7 is much better than Vista, you should consider upgrading. Otherwise, go back to XP.
