[Request] Windows Container & Sandbox info/code #528

Description

@cualquiercosa327

Hello, first I want to say thanks for your great work.

I've been researching about how native Windows container and Windows Sandbox work as sadly Ms hasn't released any useful Documentation.

The only I've found was because other people has RE part of them :

https://research.checkpoint.com/2021/playing-in-the-windows-sandbox/

https://dev.to/faizanfirdousi/why-docker-is-not-truly-native-on-windows-and-macos-2af1

I've seen you have RE them enought for being able to bypass some of their limits as save it, running several instances in parallel..

I would love to ask you some questions about them:

  1. About Containers:

Are you able to build /drive native Windows container without need of using Docker?

Does it support direct screen access (for graphical things) as opposed Docker?)

(Recently Ms has added support for native Linux containers but I would love to know about Ms one)

  1. Windows Sandbox
  • how can you launch several windows sandbox at the same time?

-how can make them persistent? Does it only works on Windows 11 or also Windows 10?

  • as it uses Hyper-V, can a external image be attached /detached and behave as a partition?
    -can be save only the differences, as it can be done with virtual machines?
  1. I believe it is crazy but could / would be very hard to run windows container on Linux with wine/Proton?
    What about windows Sandbox?

If you could make an article about it as the one I've posted would be awesome, or maybe making this part open source.

A lot of thanks

(I have sent a Discord friend invitation to talk about this)
