Default Linux OS

I'm thinking of building a PC and I was thinking of using linux for the OS, Fedora Project. But i'm new to linux.

Got some questions:

1. Linux is free right? Why arent more people using since its free

2. If i just get a blank HD and install linux on boot, then it will be my primary
and only OS

3. Is it possible to use windows media player, Real player, and Quicktime on Linux?

4. Is the threat from virus' and spyware higher since linux is open source? or is it lower?

thanks
