New feature for Go - add method to get the operating system version
One problem is, on Windows, this is impossible without bundling your application with a compiled manifest (I use github.com/akavel/rsrc. It's a horrible state of affairs brought about by backwards compatibility, but without it when you ask for a version, you'll get Windows 8 no matter what.

CLI for Windows with Go
(1) systray.Run initializes GUI and starts the event loop. Also, you can pass two functions that run when applications starting and exiting. (2) systray.SetIcon accept to array bytes of icon data. This means you need to prepare array bytes of an icon. 2goarray can use in this case. 2goarray can encode files into array bytes.
What are some alternatives?
