I don't have any experience with Docker either, but from the little I've read it's built on top of Linux Containers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Containers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Containers). Windows has App-V (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Application_Virtualization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Application_Virtualiz...) which seems like a similar technology (I believe Office 365 uses this). Note that Office plug-ins are specifically called out as something that is problematic with this tech.
