You mean besides the fact that this OS is STILL better than any currently shipping version of Windows? Yes, Windows has more features, but the usability of AmigaOS is still much higher. If it weren't for the missing features, which OS4 is doing well to try to address, Windows would have no advantage at all.
I prefer AmigaOS 3.1 on an old 68040 to Windows XP. The user interface is actually faster on the Amiga than XP is on my Opteron workstation. Yes, the Opteron runs rings around the 040 on any CPU task, like rendering, but if you're typing up reports, the Amiga is superior since you spend most of your time waiting on the user to hit the next key. It is why so many Amiga users still use their Amigas.
