Tried to sign up, but the enroll form at https://beta.docker.com/form is blank for me - it just says "Great! We just need a little more info:" but has no forms.
#2 on hacker news and no one can sign up. Bummer. I've tried 3 different browsers; Chrome, firefox, safari. Same problem. Both Firefox and Safari are completely uncustomized.
If you're using docker on mac, you're probably not using it there for easy scaling (which was the reason docker was created back then), but for the "it just works" feeling when using your development environment. But docker introduces far too much incidental complexity compared to simply using a good package manager. A good package manager can deliver the same "it just works" feeling of docker while being far more li…
No, package managers don't really have anything to do with this.
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.
The NDA is just residue from the alpha teating phase, we'll remove it. 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.
When I log in and go to https://beta.docker.com/form there is an empty form and js console says: Uncaught ReferenceError: MktoForms2 is not defined

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.
Until you, say, want to print something, or run one of the bajillion pieces of useful software that aren't available for Linux.
Edit: Oh, and I don't understand the comment about printing. Cups works.

Why? Great products are worth paying for.

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. 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 look…
When I search for xhyve it returns a project for OS X, it would be interesting to know the specific Windows technologies also.
