"But when Mark Russinovich, Microsoft's CTO for Azure, took the stage at Build 2015 in San Francisco Wednesday morning to demonstrate how containerized microservices applications work in Windows Server. [...] As is his wont, he dove right in to a demonstration of using Docker Build (on a PowerShell command line) to package and deploy an ASP.NET web site as a Docker container. [...] He took only a few seconds to package the web site into a container image, then he ran the package with the docker run command. [...] And then he paused, took the temperature of the room, and may have recognized that Windows developers may have been completely confused by what they were seeing. [...] So Russinovich asked for a show of hands of folks in the room who might have heard of something called Linux. (Don't worry, he's done this before.) [...] He then used a new build of Visual Studio, running in Windows, to publish the container to the Linux host. He then proceeded to debug the running Linux app, including setting a remote breakpoint, from Visual Studio. [...] Without saying so explicitly, Mark Russinovich was obsoleting much of Windows Server before developers' eyes."
