Docker is trying to branch out beyond Linux. For example, they're working with Microsoft on a Docker engine [1] and native client [2] for Windows Server. Not that many of our students are likely to show up with the server-flavor installed on their laptop, but still, Docker is aiming to be a generic deployment framework like existing virtual machines, but without bundling kernels. I don't know how many scientists use Windows Server boxes for their research, but I'm often surprised by support for non-free OSes ;).
