I'm also a big fan of disclosure triangles which Windows doesn't do.

Explorer does disclosure triangles (well, pluses in Windows's case) in the Folder tree side panel. It works better than incorporating it in the main view, IMO, but your mileage may vary.

Finder doesn't show the size of folders in list view, either.
