In addition to the differences in permissions and kernel behavior you've pointed out, there's also a huge difference in the filesystems themselves.

Windows' default filesystem is NTFS. Linux's is EXT4.

EXT4 is significantly more modern (2008 vs 2001) and featureful (no fragmentation, handles small files much better, journaling, etc) than NTFS.
