  On the other hand, people need to be using this stuff to make it good. With some luck coreOS' super quick relase model can rub off on it and the nice bits can spread and bad bits can die.

  You're right. Given that it's basically a tarball with some metadata, there's going to be a huge tendency to bike-shed it... and I hope we can avoid that.

  This is my fear as well.. I mean look at "OpenStack" it's horrible, convoluted, excessively complicated and pretty much a pain in the ass. As it stands, docker represents a very clean level of abstraction for application/data containers... combined with any number of management layers it works... but the container layer itself is simple to use in practice. Bringing windows into the mix will only muddle things a lot. I do appreciate Joyent's work on bringing linux compatibility to SmartOS for Docker support, but my hope is that MS doesn't really screw things over here... which I really see happening given how alien the OS is compared to linux. Unless MS creates its' own common-core userspace, which combined with their efforts on opening .Net up could happen, I don't see windows applications fitting in with the rest, and it would create too divergent paths for continued success. Who knows how this will shake down, I've been a fan of lxc/docker from early on, and I use windows on my desktop, but this just scares me.

  What is Goldman Sachs doing in the kitchen?

    They're a huge user and have written a lot of code.

    Any kitchen is bound to have some rats.
