It's true that MS-Windows uses Ctrl-Tab for traversal of MDI Document windows.
Windows, however, does not feature virtual desktops.

Given that there are very few MDI applications for the X Window System and that
users use virtual desktops very frequently, we considered Ctrl-Tab to be more
suited for desktop switching. I think this argument still holds, even more
since long-term KDE users are used to Ctrl-Tab for desktop switching.

For MDI document windows, there's still the other MS-Windows shortcut Alt-F6.
