He never did.  But he did create a sourceforge project:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/eudesk/

The initial 'introduction' of EuDesk on this forum was pretty bizarre:

http://www.openeuphoria.org/cgi-bin/esearch.exu?thread=1&fromMonth=6&fromYear=C&toMonth=8&toYear=C&keywords=%22New+EUphoria+Based+OS%22
"I was looking for User input on creating an Entireley Euphoria Based OS.
All it would require is windows DLLs. All calls for Windows Executables would
sent to the DLLs for proccessing and Execution. Graphics would be managed by 
OpenGL and DirectE (If Completed) or DirectX (If Interfaceable).
The entire system would be Efficient and powerful. (Just Like Euphoria)
It could run off of a DOS system if it won't work like a standalone OS.
This may seem to be a fantasy, but I beleive it could be done! It might take a
year or two but it would be worth it to Euphoria Programmers."

He sounds like he had some big ideas and expected everyone else to jump in 
and execute.  It's not clear to me how you can have "an Entireley Euphoria 
Based OS" that "would require...windows DLLs."

Unfortunately, I don't see the possibility of a successful outcome with this
project, regardless of its members.
