If you ask me, try KDE first. AFAIK, XFCE and LXDE are more similar to the old 
Gnome2 look&feel.

While it is completely inappropriate to compare DE's across different OS's, you 
could say that KDE is "XP-like", while for example Gnome2&friends are "MacOSX-
like". But then again, this is completely inappropriate, since all Linux DE's 
are quite different from Windows or Mac DE's. And none of KDE, XFCE, LXDE and 
Gnome2/3 were ever designed to mimic XP or OSX to begin with, so any 
similarity is either a coincidence or an independent design decision about 
some feature being useful.

HTH, :-)
