Size is the advantage.
MicroATX is usually much smaller than normal ATX and usually has fewer expansion slots like PCI (+variants), fewer DIMM sockets (usually 1 maybe 2) they are often built around budget or low cost CHIPSETS. Much of this depends on the manufacturer. Some motherboards come with the CPU soldered on while others use a socket. Often mATX boards cost the same as ATX and if space is not an issue in your chasis, then go with a Standard ATX. Standard ATX provides a better upgrade path over µATX.
ATX is just a way of describing the type of motherboard.
Size - that's about it. Good for installing in smaller build PC's, but no less powerfull than full size boards. Drawback is you will have less slots available for expansion of additional accessories/peripherals.
The ATX form factor features a more spacious system board, making it easier to add or remove components. Also, cooling on ATX systems is better than on Micro ATX.
You can generally fit more stuff onto it, pci. microatx boards aren't generally compatible with standard size cases.
