Here's one reason. When you run Windows, all of your file-folder windows run in the same process as your desktop shell (explorer.exe). If one thing crashes, the whole shell goes down. KDE takes the much more sensible approach of having everything run in a separate process, so a crash of one component won't take down everything else.

I don't have much to say on the rest of this, but you can configure both KDE and Windows (at least XP, maybe others) to either run konqueror or explorer windows in their own processes or in the same process.
