Remember, much of the windows feel that started with win95 came right from the apple desktop. Microsoft saw that apple had and easy to use desktop that made sense to the user, so they esentially stole it. While I don't like windows much either, it isn't all bad. One of it's good points is the desktop. A windows user can sit down at any windows box and know exactly how to control things with the desktop. They can configure it in the exact same way on every system.
With linux, people want customization, but that custom desktop can lead to confusion. Sure, some people will want they're special desktop. Most users just want a functional desktop that in similar from system to system and works. RH is just trying to make the linux desktop as easy to use as the windows desktop. And if you don't like it, you can always change it to you liking.
