There are no advantages, only disadvantages:

Problem XP Pro Feisty Fawn
Viruses Yes No
Malware Yes No
Bloatware Yes No
Activation Yes No
Windows Genuine
Advantage Yes No
Cost Yes No
Install on
Multiple Computers No Yes

I hope this helps and forgive the arrogant Microsoft Boys and Girls for
flaming you. They can't help it as they *know* the above is true.

You can't compare Ubuntu and XP in such a simple manner.

Ubuntu evolved a lot as a desktop alternative, BUT Microsoft has a
clear advantage with aplications as Office (if you want we can compare
it against OpenOffice) dominating the market, DirectX for gaming,
hardware support, and so on.

Again you can't compare costs, you MUST use the TCO (Total Cost of
Ownership), just because you can download and operating system and
install it for FREE, it doesn't mean that won't cost any money over
time.

Genuine Advante? I don't think this is a bad thing, it's just
marketing for a service, and lets face it, UBUNTU also sell support,
but it isn't mandatory (this adds to the TCO by the way)

Viruses, worms, and all kind of malware targets all kind of operating
systems, Windows having such a big market share, is THE target. I know
your response, 60% of Web sites runs Apache/Linux why they aren't they
attacked? well, read this : http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/05/windows_linux_unix_security_vulnerabilities/
