Looking forward to hearing more detail about how this works in the near future. I am curious though what are the plans to orchestrate and pull together multiple containers into an application, like Kubernetes, Mesos, CoreOS, etc? Is that coming in the Win 10 timeframe?

Yes, via the Docker-native orchestration tools: Swarm [1] and Compose [2].

Right on, Solomon. Here were some of the details on Azure and Windows Server support for Swarm and Compose (and Machine): http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2015/02/26/sunny-and-swarmy-...

Am I confusing something? That looks like Linux guest support on a Windows Server host, which is rather different to the Windows Container topic of this thread.

I think that the goal was to show that Microsoft already supports the Docker orchestration stack with its current products - and in doing so is laying the groundwork for integrating future Windows containers into that same stack.

Microsoft is working on Kubernetes support for Azure (along with the Kismatic people); and so I'd bet Kubernetes on Windows itself can't be far behind this announcement.

Many things that appear in Windows Server were already running as part of Azure

If you want a full PaaS, Cloud Foundry is currently implementing .NET app support as well.
