It would be better if you compared using the same "neutral" method.

Most cheap power measurements tend to quite inaccurate and who
knows in which direction this Windows power monitoring tool is wrong.
It might be wrong in a different direction than what you used 
under Linux.

A reasonable accurate method might be to just measure the time how
long the battery lasts in both cases using a similar workload
(e.g. keeping it completely idle)
