Go's OS is built from the ground up. But they're just beginning to peddle
their designs to hardware manufacturers. It's not really ``going on'' yet;
they're just talking about it.

Pen Windows is yet another blast of hot air from the marketing masters at
Redmond. They've been working on Windows for most of a decade and still
haven't got the technology straightened out. Just what I *don't* want in a
Dynabook: a buggy, ugly, crash-prone user interface that runs on top of
MessyDos and requires at least a '386 running at 20mHz to be tolerably
fast.
