So after making their formerly proprietary Windows operating system POSIX compatible, integrating it into a UNIX environment by providing NFS etc., acquisition of two Linux distributors (Novell with Novell OES, and with it the subsidiary SuSE with SuSE Linux) and selling Linux (SELS) licences, putting a XEN-derived hypervisor underneath, and directly contributing to the Linux Kernel, now Microsoft Corp. did the next step and provides a native Windows Docker client able to run Linux containers on Windows, but not Windows containers!
Can’t wait for the next three logical steps: Running Windows containers on Linux, open sourcing Windows to the community to get rid of the maintenance costs for further running existing Windows applications, and finally confessing that Windows had a Linux kernel since Vista. 😉
When can we trade-in our Windows licences for Microsoft Linux copies?
