To clarify, I think the OP was asking if they could Windows inside a Docker 
container. Since Docker uses the kernel of the OS it's running on, that would 
mean it would have to run natively on Windows.

Back in January, it didn't run on Windows. Now apparently you can run a 
Windows 10 or Server 2016 environment in a container. I would think, given 
the architecture of Docker, that you can only do this on a Windows machine, 
not a Linux box. So the ability to containerize an application on Linux and 
run it anywhere Docker is installed (even MacOS) only applicable to Linux 
apps.
