Yes that's right. In fact, I believe both Docker and Glassware address very different types of applications. Sure, there is some overlap but they both excel in their own niches.

Glassware - Great at containerizing client-tier legacy or modern applications of any platform (Windows, iOS, OSX, Linux, etc) regardless of platform into a container. It runs natively in Windows but spins up a microvisor for non-Windows apps. From the demos I've seen, it takes the application installer, runs it within Glassware (to determine the delta/changes made to the OS template) and containerizes it. The application is then made available to stream to any client device as a local Glassware client app or HTML5. Both provide a local wrapper to display the application stream which uses a combination of RDS and the Glassware proprietary protocol.

Docker - An open platform for writing distributed/server-side applications. This is the type of application a client-tier app connects to. Docker runs natively in Linux. It is capable of containerizing any application based on the Linux kernel and now recently, Windows distributed apps on Azure and on-premise Windows servers by using the .NET core Framework for Linux/OS X or Boot2Docker.
