Hi :)
It's the older KDE on Vista & Win7 isn't it? lol, i am joking but it was clearly 
inspired by KDE.  The "Start" button menu operates almost exactly the same way 
and it's quite different from the Xp one.  


The Windows one in Vista and Win7 is called DWM (=Desktop Window Manager)

Apparently there is one created by someone else that can be added in but i 
haven't tried this one

The taskbar looks suspiciously like the Xp one which might be the whole point of 
course since people probably don't like the change between Xp and 7.  


Desktop Environments generally include a WM by default but the WM can sometimes 
be swapped out for something else

This gallery shows a slightly different look from those DEs running on my 
system.

And what window manager does Windows use by default?


The default on, which is the 'windows'-windows manager ;)

But this does not mean no one can write another windows-managers which
will run on Windows....
