So, if I understand correctly, one can now run Docker containers "natively" on Windows?

  This is not the case. Depending on your definition of native you could run Docker containers on Windows even before this. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick_start/manage_docker https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowsconta...

    No, that doesn't suit my definition of native. ;) Too bad, that would really be a game changer for me. Running bash itself though... yeah, ok, whatever. But maybe I'm not the target audience.

      > "No, that doesn't suit my definition of native. ;)" Why is that? Because the containers are running in Hyper-V? From a user standpoint I doubt you'd notice any difference, especially once Hyper-V is supported in Windows 10: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsserver/2016/04/04/build-2016-container-announcements-hyper-v-containers-and-windows-10-and-powershell-for-docker/ https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsserver/2016/04/04...

        I would imagine resource consumption being much worse on Hyper-V because such containers are basicaly VMs. Am I mistaken?

          If you need fast storage resources you may notice a performance hit. Performance for CPU and memory resources seems to be mostly the same as Docker on Linux. https://caleblloyd.com/hardware/docker-performance-bare-metal-vs-virtual/ https://caleblloyd.com/hardware/docker-performance-bare-meta...
