The difference is that Mark Shuttleworth is actively contributing to KDE:
http://dot.kde.org/1160932072/

Also,  Ubuntu is one CD.
Fedora's main distro is several CDs or a DVD.
The DVD already contains the kitchen sink, why not KDE?

I'm typing this on FC6, and like I said, I'm a long time redhat user.
It's just sad that this reeks of a being the product of a 
pro-gnome/anti-kde agenda instead of something being done to help the 
distro.
