I don't know yet what will happen for Windows, but an upcoming version of Docker will run on OS X. (I say "upcoming" because I know some core maintainers have OS X support in their local branches, so it's just a matter of time before it hits master.)

It doesn't has the same isolation guarantees (yet) but it lets you use the same workflow.

Windows is different, but I can't imagine a scenario where you have to run your app on Windows. I.e. if it's your local machine, you can spin up a VM; if it's in your datacenter, you can use Linux. If your local policies are "we only run Windows on our servers, screw Linux!" chances are that you wouldn't run Docker anyway, even if it ran natively on Windows :-)

Linux/x86-64 Docker images (which is all of them) aren't going to run on OS X unless inside a VM.
