advantages -unix based, more stable than, secure windows, cool looking hardware.

disadvantges -freebsd based, less stable than linux, uncompatible hardware, worst interface out there, expensive.

windows advantages - is used by lot's of people.
disadvantages -crashes, insecure, buggy, expensive.

linux advantages - very fast, the good parts of unix design, stable, many choices for a desktop including GNOME about the best interface in the world, can run on both cheap pc hardware and cool looking mac hardware, free.

linux disadvantges -still has a few security flaws, a common misconception that linux is "hard" to use

....as to MS-DOS and compatibles, fairly crash proof, easy to switch off if it locks up, take seconds not minutes to boot, do not need $500 PC's.

Downside is lack of compatibility to modern hardware:
