How did you measure it on Windows? I suspect what's happening is that Windows gave you the actual sum of the sizes of all the files, whereas du(1) counts the space *used* by all the files. In other words, the Windows tool is giving a count in bytes, whereas du(1) is giving a count in disk blocks (rounded up to the nearest block, because that space is unavailable for other files to use).
