looking at the screenshots, i'm pretty certain that this is just KDE using one 
of the (several) Windows-alike themes (icons, widgets, window decos, 
background, colours) with some added customizations (desktop icons, start 
menu setup, etc). you can get this pretty easily on your own by spending a 
few minutes at kde-look.org and in the KDE Control Center.

i'm not sure 100% mimicing MS Windows (or MacOS, for that matter) is really 
the best way to promote Linux on the desktop as it removes all uniquenesses 
and many benefits. a "better Windows than Windows" has been tried before, and 
it simply isn't compelling enough of a reason on its own =)
