There's no lack of will to build a Windows version of azk, but there are three main issues that are making things harder (from the most important to the least important):
- A local DNS service to resolve specific suffixes (as we've done with https://github.com/azukiapp/libnss-resolver for Linux);
- A good experience on terminal;
- A lightweight Virtual Machine system to run Docker inside.
The first issue is still an open issue. I think the most likely solution will be to write some kind of Windows kernel extension or driver, as we've done to Linux.
About the second one, there're still hope once Microsoft has supported the use of terminal on Windows and things such as Powershell are exciting us. Anyhow, we can also work with Cygwin or even clink.
Finally, about the third issue, however VirtualBox has been the chosen virtualization solution for Mac OS X, we know its limitations (mainly related to file sharing). As our motto is to make azk distribution as simple as possible, we've been studying the use of xhyve for Mac OS X.
For Windows, we've made recent progress when we found out that some people are successfully using QEMU Binaries to run Docker on Windows \o/
Well, this is an update about the current status and researches on azk for Windows.

Are there any updates on this now that Docker is on Release Candidate for "full" Windows support?
Seeing that Docker for Windows is now generally available for production, how are the plans for azu on Windows? | https://blog.docker.com/2016/07/docker-for-mac-and-windows-production-ready
any news?
+1. Also, there is any interests in exploring the feature possibilities using Docker for Windows and Windows Containers? I've not been using it but seems very promising.
Any news on this?
