The most Windows-like desktop(and more) on Linux is KDE, second maybe to Cinnamon, and XFCE if we're talking XP-ish and classic.

On Linux, your underlying system is not reliant on your GUI. They are not bonded in any sense, and the GUI can be any number of different programs, known as Desktops.

You can run a Ubuntu system with the KDE desktop, or the Gnome desktop, Unity, or XFCE, or Cinnamon... or maybe two or three at once and choose at login! he's a madman!

I like how GNOME looks, I've messed around with it a little on my laptop.
