It's a frequently asked question. What do you do if you have a Windows machine? After all, at this point in time, the only fully supported ports of Go are for Mac OS and Linux.
Well, there is an active community involved on porting it to Windows under MinGW.
Check it out HERE .
Another alternative, since the MinGW port isn't completed yet would be to install Ubuntu (one of many flavors of Linux) on your Windows box. This sounds daunting. You don't even have to go through partitioning or anything complicated or potentially dangerous to your file system. You can use a handy-dandy little tool called the Windows Ubuntu Installer, or Wubi for short.
Get Wubi HERE.
Once you have Ubuntu installed using Wubi, it will allow you to choose Ubuntu on your Windows box at startup. Don't worry. If you choose this option, Windows isn't really in any danger, but the Ubuntu installation can be a bit fragile and sensitive to things like hard reboots. But it's a sinch to reinstall if you have something goofy go on. It also uninstalls easily.
