If it is a language designed to work on multi-core systems, they really should work on getting it to work with windows......

FAQ

Why doesn't Go run on Windows?
We understand that a significant fraction of computers in the world run Windows and it would be great if those computers could run Go programs. However, the Go team is small and we don't have the resources to do a Windows port at the moment. We would be more than willing to answer questions and offer advice to anyone willing to develop a Windows version.
