Main advantages:
* 32-bit flat address space with virtual memory
* POSIX compliance makes easier to write portable software
* powerful compiler and libraries
* outstanding support (via this newsgroup)
* unbeatable cost :-)
Main disadvantages:
* you need to learn new development tools
* low-level software (like interrupt handlers) is trickier
* doesn't support native Windows apps (yet)
* assembly syntax is different
