You classify three of ten specific to Windows but...
...conclude it's still Linux versus Windows.

I also have to question the benefit of multilayered run levels. Run levels are nothing more than the background services (and perhaps filesystems mounted) when the system starts up.

While UNIX supports multiple run levels they're hardly anything to get excited about. Single user mode to install patches. Run level three for CLI only. Run level five for GUI. And that's only Linux.

One could argue Windows has a primitive run level system with Recovery console, Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, and normal.
