The main purpose of docker is running microservices ( web services ) and get a rapid
update / deployment / management of new isolated instances of the same app running on
the same or any other server.
We could program this kind of apps using any iis/vfp framework combination, but sadly windows will
deploy the Windows Server "Nano-Server" version to run docker/hyper V images, which will only support 64bit .net apps ,
- what they call web-born apps.

But I think that since Project Centennial uses a similar "contaner" architecture,
who knows if later they add windows server images with support for win32 apps.
