Because your entire post reads like an ad for Spoon Studio.

Also, what does "Nowhere in 'docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash' does it say something about LXC." even mean?

Docker is built upon LXC features. It needs them to work. LXC not there? It's not gonna work.

I think that the parent was trying to say that the docker interface is not specific to LXC, only the backend implementation is, so there is "nothing" preventing the backend from supporting other kernels that have the requisite features.

That said, the containers would be OS-specific by definition.

By that logic, mono should not exist.

I think if people really want something like docker on Windows or MacOSX, they should go out and write themselves one. For docker guys, obviously, they don't find it an attractive market.

Who will run MacOSX in server farms anyway? If you're using Windows already, why not spend more for some fancy virtualization or container like products, say from VMWare?

Mono is more like a different implementation of interesting languages. If you like C#, you can use mono to write and run on Linux. If you want to write Windows programs, you won't use mono.

We actually do support Docker on OSX and Windows :) It just requires a small gateway VM called boot2docker (25MB on disk). It's perfect for development of Linux application on an OSX machine. Typing "docker build" and "docker run" straight from the Mac terminal is pretty magical, you definitely forget there is a VM involved.

Does volume mounting work with boot2docker yet? That's been the main obstacle I've encountered with it on OS X.

The boot2docker devs had made it clear they're not going to add any vbox-specific bits to b2d, but I've been successfully using the ISO linked from this article (which I expect will get updated to 1.1 shortly, or if not there's instructions to build your own):
