There is Docker within Vagrant, I have a Windows 7 desktop in front of me and all I need to do to enter my CoreOS system is "vagrant up; vagrant ssh" from the git shell.
I don't think there will be direct Docker support for Windows (erm... hrm)
Actually I do remember hearing that docker/lxc was only the beginning, can you be more specific? What virtualization tech in Windows do you want to see Docker containers running in?
There's no reason you can't run CoreOS in qemu or CoreOS in VirtualBox, but all of those things are still coming back to Linux Containers. Did you have an idea of another way?
Would each container run on something like coLinux?
(coLinux is a port of the Linux kernel to run as an ordinary Windows program, so you can run the Linux kernel as a Windows userland program by double-clicking on "linux.exe"; then you can SSH in and mess around, etc)
I wouldn't expect Windows support anytime soon, especially Windows containers running in a Linux host using LXC as the "hypervisor".
Windows containers running in a Windows host is much more likely. Commercial solutions like Virtuozzo Containers offer Windows on Windows support today [1]. Someone could implement a Virtuozzo-for-Windows provider for Docker, but that seems like a long shot.
Are you looking forward to run the Docker CLI in Windows (i.e., being able to use Docker commands from a Windows machine, while the containers run on a remote box), or run the containers themselves on a Windows box?

Very nice!
One thing that I am looking forward to is Docker support for Windows. Would really like to see that feature.
