We are not talking in general here, we are talking specifically about
starting server automatically and about the way the Emacs icon is set
up to start Emacs.  Can you please explain how the changes in these
two aspects of the default Emacs behavior make it easier to learn
Emacs on Windows?  Because I cannot imagine how these two minor
subtleties can change anything in the generally steep curve of
learning Emacs from scratch.  The major difficulties are elsewhere,
and if we really care about that, we should divert our energy to
overcoming those major difficulties, instead of wasting it on whether
server should be up or down by default.
