Sphere 3D Corp (ANY)

Here's an interesting article from the Microsoft perspective on the whole containerization thing:

Note the following comment:

The biggest missing piece is container support, which must be added to Windows itself so that Docker can run natively. This isn't the same as having Docker running in Azure, where it's used to manage Linux workloads. It's even more radical: adding features to the Windows kernel that parallel Linux's cgroups and namespaces, both essential to Docker's workings.

That said, Microsoft has remained tight-lipped on how it will do this. It could be via a kernel-level driver or require a full-blown revision to the kernel for a future edition of Windows, but the company hasn't posited so much as a time frame for the shift.

Microsoft buying out Sphere 3D? Containers in containers? :)
