Great plan !

Anybody knows if making docker run natively on Windows is possible ? (is there any sort of LXC like feature in Windows ?)

If this was going to be possible with Windows, it would have to be done by Redmond. And given that they'd be out of a Windows license by allowing containers w/in Windows (as opposed to VMs), I doubt that will happen.

Unless you're talking about running this as a Linux VM on a Windows host, in which case, sure - why not?

Maybe somebody can bring CoLinux up to 3.8. http://www.colinux.org/?section=status

Well, you can run a Linux VM. Windows doesn't support anything like BSD jails or LXC right now.
