Yes. I am English and english is my first language. Born and bred in
good old London, UK. As you can see in the dictionary the main meaning
of sub-standard is below an established or required standard.

Hi Henri, not sure if english is your first language. Substandar
basically means poor quality. I think the term you are confusing it
with is non-standard, which of course is not the case as you have
pointed out. Windows is indeed the current "standard" OS for
computing in many areas.

Hello Antonio, english is not my first language.
But take a look at this, from my dictionary (Collins English
Dictionary):
Substandard - adj. - 1. Below an established or required standard, 2.
another word for nonstandard.
Is english your first language then?
