Best Answer

If you are asking about the graphical interface, windows XP comes with just 1 interface, and it can be customized to a point, but that is somewhat limited.

Unix comes with multiple graphical desktop managers, not just one. Users can pick and choose which environment is best for them. With Windows, the choice is already made for the user.

Handling of icons and desktops are very different in Unix and Windows. The list would be too long to detail in this answer.
