Shows concurrent Windows and Linux containers, image layout of 4 layers + writable top layer, lifecycle where VM exists only while the container runs, HCS tooling to inspect VMs, Docker Enterprise integrated in Server 2016, Windows container sizes ~4 GB vs Linux ~300 MB and slight performance tradeoffs.
