Windows has recently added native containerization (e.g. see [1,2]), and there are Windows folks actively involved in the Open Container Initiative [3] which is is an attempt to build open standards around the container logic behind Docker [4]. So now you can run (Windows-specific) Docker images with native Windows containerization [5]. But how long it takes until your average SWC learner shows up with a Windows laptop that can do what can now only be done in the Windows Server 2016 Tech Preview 3 is anybody's guess ;). And you'd still need folks with access to Windows boxes to generate the images for those learners to run.
