Let's scroll back to your original question, shall we?

 > What *useful* stuff does Windows do that AmigaDOS doesn't?

Now, are you claiming that all the hardware like virtual memory and 
networking that Windows supports that the Amiga doesn't is not necessary?

Do you remember why the thread started? Because Windows is more buggy 
than AmigaOS, and people said "that's because it does more"? Do you 
seriously think you can add support for VM, protected mode, networking, 
and lots of different kinds of hardware without making the OS more 
complicated?

This is incorrect also.

Either you weren't programming at the time, or you're a far better 
programmer than I was.
