So the first question is, is there a standard Windows file open dialog? Look at Word, Photoshop, Coral Draw, Notepad and you will find 4 different file open dialogs.
They are all customizations of the same standard dialog.
So we don't need "the standard windows file open dialog" because the users are used to different file dialogs. But we need a file dialog that fits better into windows. So I would suggest to write a gtk dialog, that looks like a windows dialog.
The standard windows dialog is highly integrated with the Windows shell (Explorer), so replacing it entirely in Gtk is an extremely large project and the result would be inconsistent across different Windows versions.
