I believe this is because Windows disables the whole device, possibly even powering it off. Linux (or more specifically in this case, gnome-volume-manager) just unmounts the filesystem. However, I'm not 100% sure about that, but I have noticed similar behaviour on my various removable devices and they are always fine.
