It's sad because there's a lot of nice developments with modern operating systems like containerization, transactioned updates with rollbacks, etc. and as far as I can tell Windows 10 has none of it. They've just been spinning their wheels trying to unify everything, while the rest of the world (Android, iOS, CoreOS, Ubuntu Core, etc.) is moving ahead.

(yes I know MS is looking at container support for Windows, but the fact that there has been no information or technical details is troubling)

Windows 10 is obviously consumer focused. Consumers don't care about containers

Android, iOS, etc. have strong separation of application data and consumers definitely care about the enhanced security that comes from it.

There's been plenty of information on container support, matter of fact it's being developed out in the open on GitHub - Project K.

Then just use docker to run your code on EITHER windows or linux.
