What filesystem backend does docker use on Windows? Doesn't it require a copy on write filesystem to be efficient?

We're building a new one as part of the Windows Server Container implementation. Also doing copy-on-write registry and tightening up Job Objects: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms6... With any OS, containers are actually made up of several low-level components put together behind a management experience (which will include Docker).
Dang, COW registry is pretty neat.
