I just wonder about the utility of all this. Most people should be trying to target .NET Standard/.NET Core and simply run their apps on Linux, meaning they can use regular Linux distributions with Docker installed. Who is Microsoft expecting to actually use Docker on Windows? EDIT: I'll answer my own question and say that this is probably targeted toward shops that rely on a Microsoft stack (e.g., full .NET Framework, SQL Server, etc.) Running Docker on Windows and getting fully-configured environments should be a big boon to productivity for these folks.
