Windows Containers are a Windows-native container solution. No Linux kernel need be involved. This lives alongside Linux VM-based containers in Docker Desktop. Obviously you can only run Windows-based images, which confuses people that think Containers=linux. I think BSD has a similar concept as well. https://wiki.freebsd.org/Docker

Yeah, that's what I would have guessed. Fortunately (unfortunately for some?), most containers are Linux-based, both for deployment and development purposes.
