I've only had brief experience of either recently, but I don't think
KDE would be familiar at all to a Windows user any more; the only real
commonality I can think of is that the start menu is in the same
place.

It used to be true that the two were pretty similar (when KDE was
touted as a Windows imitation), but the two have changed fairly
substantially in the past several years. KDE does, presumably, still
have its merits, but I don't think that imitating Windows is one of
them.
