The OS provides the functionality to contain processes, which is what is being linked to. And so Docker takes advantage of that. On Windows I didn't think there was a way to do that without a VM. But, I'm a total Docker n00b, so who knows.

In this I meant my own machine has everything turned off I can get away with,
so to do effective testing I would need a proper VM (i.e. installed "normal" setup) rather than a docker container which relies on the underlying OS.
Some good summaries here: stackoverflow.com/questions/16047306/how-is-docker-different-from-a-normal-virtual-machine
(on purpose pasted as text rather than a link, in case you don't like links.)
About 1/4 ways down a good mention of the LXC'c...
Quote: Linux Containers (LXC) are operating system-level capabilities that make it possible to run multiple isolated Linux containers, on one control host (the LXC host). Linux Containers serve as a lightweight alternative to VMs as they don’t require the hypervisors viz. Virtualbox, KVM, Xen, etc.

Look at Turbo Containers - Run Applications Anywhere (Previously known as Spoon)
And stay away from Docker for Windows. I'm using Docker Toolbox with .NET Core 2 and quite happy with the process. I wrote about my Docker for Windows experience here and here.

Too bad Docker is now another buzzword in the industry though.

Thing is, I have Docker set up on a couple of QA Ubuntu servers, acting as replicas of prod environments, and they are brilliant. It makes testing so much easier because the image acts as a clone of prod, so I have a faithful reproduction that I can test against.

You never stopped being one of the cool kids. Me? Well, I never grew up. Never worry about having a second childhood; don't leave your first one.

Just read the first part of the first link, and I believe you just confirmed what I think. Docker for Windows requires Hyper-V correct?

Its isn't a turnkey solution, but what you describe is essentially what Microsoft's Desktop App Converter[^] does -- it virtualizes the file system, registry, etc. for the desktop app that's being converted, and creates an installable windows UWP package. It probably won't keep that installed app from mucking with the main file system and registry once the installation is running on your machine, but at least all the registry keys and files related to the app itself are in a container.
I keep waiting for MS to deliver the community version of Visual Studio that way, so I don't have to permanently suffer the 750,000 registry entries it creates during installation on my personal machine, just to have it around for the odd time I want to use it.
Or.. would a sandbox product work? Something like SandboxIE maybe?

I overheard a couple of people talking about this woman[^] today, and one of them called her a "Bucket O' Bats". Thought that was a rather interesting way of saying "Crazy Person".
