Containers? You mean like MEF(Included in .net framework) or Unity?

.Net has always had containers like that.

[Guillaume86 → UK-AL]

No he mean ressources isolation containers (tiny VMs)

[UK-AL → Guillaume86]

I don't know how they would do that with windows, since it requires features in the linux kernel.

Starting with Windows 8, Hyper-V (Microsoft's virtualization platform) is built into the OS - and one of the goals with it was to be able to virtualize different environments invisibly to the end-user.

The Hyper-V team have also been actively committing to the Linux kernel for many years now, and I'm happily running a 6-node Cassandra cluster on my Windows 8 dev machine right now using Hyper-V :)

So it's not there yet, but ground has been broken.
