I installed ubuntu 14.04 64 bit alongside my win 7 OS a while ago and I am pretty impressed with the OS.
Pros-
FREE! This is open source software, so can be downloaded free and installed!
Simple to setup and configure.All you need to do is to download the iso file from ubuntu site and burn it on a dvd.Now put in into drive and restart pc.It can be installed side by side with the existing OS or can be over written to the OS.And all the needed drivers like audio video usb card reader bluetooth get installed AUTOMATICALLY.wow! thats cool!
Sleek and stylish looks and feel.UI is very nice looking.Clean graphics.Amazing animations.
Easy to use and user friendly.This OS is as simple as win 7, only difference is the arrangement of icons.
Cross -platform support.It has inbulit office app with which you can open and edit the MS-OFFICE files thereby avoiding one of the biggest concerns in using linux.
No need of anti virus software for this OS as there is no virus for Linux.Money saved!
Cons-
App support/software support.This is the only area where linux falls behind windows.Softwares are not as apleanty as that for windows, but not bad.All the necessery softwares can be downloaded from internet, that too free of charge!
Love this Open-source stuff!
