title: Running windows container on linux host
body: <p>I installed docker CE on an Ubuntu 16.04, and when I try:</p>
  
  <pre><code>docker pull microsoft/windowsservercore
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It fails:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Using default tag: latest
  latest: Pulling from microsoft/windowsservercore
  3889bb8d808b: Pulling fs layer 
  da87b55a9b63: Pulling fs layer 
  image operating system "windows" cannot be used on this platform
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible to run a windows image on a linux host with docker? If yes, how should I do that?</p>
