They said simplest :)
If you purchase a laptop knowing that you will be running Linux and doing a little bit of research up front, it is every bit as simple as running a laptop with Windows or OS X.
This is an amazing announcement, but... The beta requires a NDA. The source code is also not available. This gives the impression that this will be a closed commercial product and that really takes the wind out of my sails.
We will open-source all the components individually, to make them easier to reuse elsewhere. That requires work to do properly.
Lastly, Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows will be free.

[I work at Docker on the announced Mac app] Nathan LaFreniere (the author of dlite) is awesome, and we've been exchanging tips and tricks and areas where we can collaborate. He knew exactly where to press to find bugs in our earlier betas...
I am very excited about the new Mac app and I want to try it. At the moment I use dlite. The thing I love about it is that it's transparent. I hope that the new Mac app has an option or mode to be like that too (start on system boot, doesn't create a new desktop window/gui, SSH from terminal would be enough for me). Something analogous to MacVim's -v flag; by default "mvim" opens a new app with its own window, but "m…

Why? Great products are worth paying for.
If you take free software and never consider paying its developer for making it, despite them providing you freedom, choice, and a degree of trust in the software you can not have with proprietary code, then you are the kind of person to blame for why proprietary software is so rampant today.
For example, I donate $200 to the Document Foundation every year to match the cost of an annual subscription to Office 365 plus a 33% bonus for respecting my freedom.

We'd love to get your feedback on the new filesystem engine in the Docker for Mac app. It's been a ton of work to get right, and there a few corner cases in the current beta that we're squashing, but overall things "just work" for my day-to-day Linux development on my Mac using the current beta. At this stage, pointing it to the weirdest and most wonderful filesystem stressers you can find is welcome. We'll leap on a…
One thing I'm immediately concerned about is having some way of "pausing" xhyve. Purely because of Android development :( Intel's HAXM doesn't (seem to?) play nice, and asks for an exclusive lock. See https://github.com/mist64/xhyve/issues/88 and https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=197915
> Faster and more reliable: no more VirtualBox! I'm a Docker n00b, still don't know what it can do exactly. Can Docker replace Virtualbox? I guess only for Linux apps, and suppose it won't provide a GUI, won't run Windows to use Photoshop?!
Can someone explain in simple terms how Docker for Windows is different from Application Virtualization products like VMware ThinApp, Microsoft App-V, Spoon, Cameyo, etc? Also, why does it require Hyper-V activated in Windows 10? I found this: https://docs.docker.com/machine/overview/ but I don't understand if you need separate VMs for separate configurations or they have a containerization technology where you are a…
Docker is a containerization standard that relies on various Linux capabilities to isolate application runtimes (or containers if you will). On Mac and Linux it used to be achieved by running a small Linux VM in VirtualBox, but looks like this release has brought xhyve on, which is supposed to have an even smaller foot print.
HTH.

Thanks for exposing me to ThinApp and the rest. I took a quick look, these are Microsoft based technologies designed to run Windows apps, however conceptually I don't see much difference.

Yes it starts on boot and doesn't need a special terminal. There is just a small whale in the toolbar so you can exit or change settings.
