- mwcampbell 9y agoIndeed. I wonder if Microsoft will eventually use their Linux emulation to accomplish the same thing that motivated Joyent to work on LX-branded zones, namely running Linux-based Docker containers in production on a non-Linux server OS (Windows in this case) without any VM overhead.
- tda 9y agoI believe this is already the case with hyper-v, is it not?
- makmanalp 9y agoI thought hyper-v would be more for the case of full-blown emulation (I'm creating a soft-CPU and hardware, a la VMWare) versus this is more like linux emulation - I have some windows software that can parse and run ELF binaries, and some layer that converts calls to the linux kernel into windows kernel stuff.
