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).

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.

Can someone explain what the use case for this is?
