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) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_Window_Manager http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969540(v=vs.85).aspx Apparently there is one created by someone else that can be added in but i haven't tried this one http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/ 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 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_Environment#Gallery This gallery shows a slightly different look from those DEs running on my system.
