[TriLUG] Rescue CD - hijack: containers for Windows

[Alan Porter via TriLUG]

Microsoft recently announced that they were jumping on the container 
bandwagon.
I could imagine that docker-like containerization would be really nice 
for isolating
infections on Windows systems.  The main OS and application layers of 
the union
filesystem would be read-only, with just the data areas being 
writable... which is
basically what others here are recommending... isolate the DATA and 
refresh the
OS and applications.

Thoughts on Windows containers?
