Docker runs on Windows. Windows containers run on Windows. Linux containers run on Linux as well as Windows. (To run Linux containers on Windows a small Linux kernel is run inside HyperV.)
You can think of Docker containers as VMs, except instead of running its own copy of the OS it runs directly on top of the host machine's OS.
