Linux based OS

Is there any advantage to use the LINUX operating system? Microsoft says it has plans to remove Windows XP off dealer shelves by June 30th 2008. New computers are bundled with windows Vista now. I read that the commands for linux are very different than msdos based programs. Their operating code is freely available online. They say that linux is presently the base for many video games. What about compatibility with windows programs? Excel spreadsheets, word processors, finance tools etc. MAC computers is unique in that its OS is completely different than an msdos based program. Will Linux be just as complicated?
