====== Windows running in a docker container ======

This video by Wolfgang demonstrates how to run a Windows operating system inside a Docker container — a creative and unconventional technical experiment.

==== Overview ====
Wolfgang explores whether it's possible to launch a full Windows environment within a Linux-based Docker container. Since Docker is primarily designed for Linux containers, this setup is more of a proof-of-concept than a practical solution.

==== Key Components ====
  * Uses the unofficial `dockur/windows` image by Kroese
  * Based on a modified Windows PE (Preinstallation Environment)
  * Virtualization handled via QEMU
  * GUI access provided through VNC (Remote Desktop)

==== Performance and Limitations ====
  * Limited performance due to emulation
  * Not suitable for production use
  * Best used for experimentation or educational purposes

==== Conclusion ====
Running Windows in Docker is a fascinating hack that showcases Docker’s flexibility. While not practical for everyday use, it’s a fun and educational project for developers and tech enthusiasts.
