I did not "set any standard" just now.  I am simply restating, and
applying, the goals of the GNU Project which I set in 1983.

Our goal is not "helping users" (i.e., giving them whatever they
happen to want).  Our goal is establishing freedom for computer users.

Leading people to escape from Windows is a positive result.
Making use of Windows more convenient is not.
