WSL containers is now generally available

In case anyone was curious, this works like docker desktop on Windows. It launches a Linux vm which then runs the container(s).

Can someone explain what the use case for this is?

I tested these last week, and they got me about 90% of the way on two custom test containers (Forgejo and Postgres). I especially like the fact that they are a lot like microVMS instead of pure containers. Given that these are pure Windows services, it eases a lot of non-technical senior managers minds in my highly regulated environment. That said, this is just another example of Microsoft's extend and extinguish past behavior.
