According to the Docker.io web site, Docker on Windows is native, like the 
MacOS version of docker. But you can probably only run Windows containers on 
a windows machine, not a Linux machine. I don't know if you can build a Linux 
container on Windows and have it work on a Linux box. If Docker for Windows 
only works on Windows 10 or Server 2016, that may work. I read that there's a 
linux that runs under Windows 10, so Docker is probably using that.
