Yep, you're right! I was trying to answer the question: does it works or not? Without getting into details about containers but yes, MS is using HyperV behind the scenes; I think
I use docker for web development and the overhead of running containers within Windows and Mac vs running them on Linux means docker is only usable on Linux. Yes docker for windows uses hyper-V. However when you mount directories there is a conversion process for file permissions. The causes IO overhead. The only workaround for me to continue to use windows for a while before ditching for linix was using hyper V to run a full Linux VM and installing docker in this. So yes its more docker was ported to windows - it runs effortlessly in most distros.
