Configure mesos/deimos/docker/marathon(or whatever) and get that working. Once that's working, you just need qemu running in a container. Looking on the Docker registry I see a number of them. Now I have no idea on licensing for Windows since I've really never used it in the past two decades, but I'm guessing some Windows person knows about these things. So assuming you can work out the licensing part, you can just spin up a Windows image with qemu. Obviously you'd want to pop your app up there - I assume you could put the app into a second disk image and you could access it on the "D:" drive or however that poor design decision gets expressed these days. Obviously you'd probably want a private registry to store these Docker images that have Windows and your license stuff in them. Running a docker registry in marathon/mesos actually seems to work quite well. Kevin -- Kevin Lyda Galway, Ireland US Citizen overseas? We can vote. Register now: http://www.votefromabroad.org/
