Way off topic certainly, but I just installed Docker for Windows
yesterday, and it has an option on the menu "Switch to Windows
containers". From a very quick Google search, it looks like there is
support for running Windows-based containers in docker now. There's an
image microsoft/windowsservercore available, which suggests this is a
supported solution.
