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 That said, even Windows Vista is out of date, now.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

Is there a way for making PC games play on Apple computers?
Games will require a particular operating system to work. If the game is written for the Windows operating system then it will need Windows to be installed on the Mac for it to work. Specific Mac games are written for Mac OS X and will be labelled as such. That said it is possible to play some Windows games on a Mac without having Windows installed using CrossOver Games (See links below) which emulates the parts of Windows needed to play the game. This does not work for all games and may not work well for some games.

Did bill gates do the programming for the windows operating system?
Possibly he did part of it, but by that time he had a company (Microsoft) with many programers. Gary Kildall was the first person to create an operating system for the computers which was separate from the hardware. He was a PhD in computers and he named his system CP/M. The first versions of Windows were based on a system which was invented or designed by Tim Paterson. He named his system QDOS. Microsoft, a company founded by Bill Gates and his school friend Paul Allen in 1975 improved on it. It is a myth that Bill Gates invented Windows. He only founded the company which designed a more user friendly computer operating system called 'Windows' It is said that there was an oral agreement between the IBM (one of world leading companies in computers) and Gary Kildall but G. Kildall never benefited much, monetarily, from his invention. He died in 1996 and never got the credit he deserved for his invention.
