Great question. Because the containers pull from the underlying host operating system, you will be able to deploy a Windows Server Container on a Windows Server host but you cannot deploy a Linux container on a Windows Server host (and vice versa). However, you can run either a Windows VM or a Linux VM on Hyper-V (or in Azure). Also, you can now run .NET applications on Windows or Linux. But that is a bit orthogonal to your question. :) Hopefully that helps.
