This would for running a Windows container, I assume? Microsoft implementing the Linux system call ABI, now that would be truly amazing. I guess it's possible (FreeBSD does some of this), but I guess this is not that?

Judging by the context here, I'm guessing that they're implementing a virtualization API that's capable of creating VMs which run anything an x86 processor can run.

Yes, this is for windows specific workloads. Not the ability to virtualize the Linux ABI in Windows. That's what VMs are for.

Joyent did that for SmartOS with their "Triton" project, which lets you run Docker containers on their (SmartOS) cloud.
