I don't believe that a single standard is necessary.  After observing people
of various levels of computer "competence"(receptionists to programmers) at
work I firmly believe that switching from one GUI to another is trivial task
that anyone can handle.

Of course if having one standard GUI meant not having to deal with MS Windows
then I'm all for it! :^)
