OOPS! I didn't mean "the Windows key" but rather all key bindings a
normal Windows user would assume a Windows application uses. Most
famous is of course the key bindings you mention but there might be
more.

Well what would be needed to do this well? Should the installer, or
maybe better XEmacs on the first activation, if encountering a new
installation insert some spiffy windows adoptions in the
.xemacs/*-files per default for the user to change to his likeing?

No, the installer should ask the user if he wants to activate these 'spiffy
windows adoptions'.
Putting them in by default will just annoy people like me who prefer the
XEmacs bindings (I know, I can edit init.el, but I don't want anything
touching that file *at all*).

Search the archives for Ben Wing being vetoed by Martin or Mike. The
proposals are all there. ;-)
Seriously
1. cua.el should be ported and turned into a behavior[1], with default
value `(featurep 'mswindows)' (however that is properly spelled).
2. A better job should be done of handling filenames containing
spaces and non-ASCII characters.
3. Packages should be installed where a Windows user will be able to
find them (I don't know where that is; maybe the right thing to do is
to expose an interface like `describe-installation' that finds them
for the user).
That would be a real good start, I think.
Should the installer, or maybe better XEmacs on the first
activation, if encountering a new installation insert some spiffy
windows adoptions in the .xemacs/*-files per default for the user
to change to his likeing?
No, this should be handled with Customize defaults and behaviors that
conditional on `(featurep 'mswindows)' IMO. But like you I don't
actually use the platform, so I'm not real sure.
Footnotes:
[1] Behaviors are something that Ben Wing conceived and implemented
partially, see C-h f define-behavior. They're sort of like a global
minor-mode with Customize wingdings.
