Benefits... In my view, not many, since I think windows is probably the most worthless OS ever (not biased at all, am I :P), but it does allow you to keep windows as is and take a bit of space and also have linux running on the same machine, using the same hard drive.

If you're going to start messing with Linux though, I'd suggest you find an old windows computer that no one cares about and trying to get a dual boot working there before you do it on a computer that is actually valuable to you. That's what my dad did, and now, 4 years later, I have a Linux only laptop. :P
