Ubuntu vs. Windows

[rajesh aryal]

Hi freinds while i know that windows is not the greatest piece of program, i don't see much reason to use Ubuntu. Why is there a reason to use Ubuntu over windows XP? in windows I can do everything very easily while in Ubuntu it is very time consuming to even do something like play MP3. 
I have heard many good things about Ubuntu but i think i will have to dual boot for now. please tell me why is ubuntu so great software.
