Multicore is one obvious huge advantage over OCaml. Associating basic functions (like comparison) with types is a major advantage. Equality types are a huge advantage. Overloading and associated benefits like support for the full range of primitive types is another important advantage.
Also, F# executables tend to be orders of magnitude smaller than OCaml executables but, of course, the F# ones need a CLR installed to run them.
