Considering that you download it for free, it's definately worth getting.
Since there are quite a few hardware compatibily issues, i'd suggest that you should make your PC dual-bootable first, so in case if you run into problems, you have still your old OS to use.
It's a bit different from some parts to use than Windows and there's practically no games for it. Wine does work, but only in limited number of games (the dualboot still keeps Windows for playing).
For example Ubuntu, which i have used quite a lot, has pretty good software library which is accessible directly from your computer. Practically no viruses, and after getting used to the different method of using it, it's a lot more easier and logical to use than Windows.
It's really hard to tell about the good points and bad points, i'd suggest that you download it, make your computer dual-bootable and then decide whether you like it or not.
