Are Microsoft Containers worth learning?

Absolutely - if you want to "learn containers" I would start with Docker for Windows (that creates a tiny Linux VM) for a less painful start.

However if Windows is core to your workflow.. check out this from my fellow Docker Captain:

And the installation procedure for Windows Containers:

Take note that only nano-server will run on Windows 10 pro.

Thank you very much for the links! Will be taking a look into it. It seems fairly simple to setup and mess around with. I'm more familiar with Docker, never heard of Containers till a few days ago :D
