What's interesting, to me, about Docker as a company perhaps not doing well is how that'll impact Microsoft.

Microsoft have done a load of work on getting containers running well on Windows servers and that work relies on Docker EE as the container runtime engine (you get a free Docker EE license to run on Windows servers AFAIK)

If Docker get bought up (by someone other than Microsoft), then that would seem to possibly place Microsoft's container efforts at risk...

Microsoft has already heavily invested in getting Kubernetes running on Windows as a fist-class citizen: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowsconta...
