Sadly, the "whole world" doesn't. Windows itself lacks quite a few of
the CUA keys (ask a Windows user how to move a window with the
keyboard, and s/he won't say "Alt-F7"), and some Windows applications
make this even worse (Adobe Reader egregiously so - you can't even use
Ctrl-Ins to copy to the clipboard, despite all the rest of Windows
supporting it).

But hey. MOST of the world uses the CUA keys. And yes, Emacs doesn't.
For better or for worse, you have to learn Emacs as its own thing.
