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. ---- Steve Yelvington / P.
