Seems you are a beginner as far as Linux is concerned.

For you, using Oracle VirtualBox to run and learn Ubuntu will be a better option.

From there you can learn Linux quick and be updated fast.

Ubuntu is a Debian GNU/Linux distribution and distributed as free and open source software with additional proprietary software available.

use of ubuntu or benifits of it over windows 7 ?

Firstly, you don't need an Antivirus that sits and eats out your system resources, your applications will start utilising it...

for the rest, google.com search engine give lot of credible answers.

If you are career oriented and young, start using RHEL, will help in long run

Ubuntu is free of cost.

use of ubuntu or benifits of it over windows 7 ?

No viruses, peace of mind while using pen drives (even the infected ones), stable system, faster boot.

what all to know before installing ubuntu?

Don't expect it to be Windows. Linux has its own learning curve.

compactibility of softwares on it including games ?

It is a completely different platform compared to Windows; you should not expect Windows softwares to run on Linux. Instead look for pure Linux alternatives. However, they can be run through a Linux software named WINE.
