Even Microsoft knows windows containers are fucking shit

The Xbox System Software contains a heavily modified Hyper-V hypervisor (known as NanoVisor) as its host OS and two partitions. One of the partitions, the "Exclusive" partition is a custom virtual machine (VM) for games; the other partition, the "Shared" partition is a custom VM for running multiple apps including the OS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_system_software#System

Xbox already runs two VMs. Just throw in a third with real Windows.

A VM and a container are two completely different pieces of technology...

I'm sorry I mixed up the terminology. I was sure the point of "Microsoft can ship Windows with Xbox" came across no matter what.

No worries, it's an understandable mistake.
