This is not the case. Depending on your definition of native you could run Docker containers on Windows even before this.

No, that doesn't suit my definition of native. ;)

Too bad, that would really be a game changer for me. Running bash itself though... yeah, ok, whatever. But maybe I'm not the target audience.

Why is that? Because the containers are running in Hyper-V? From a user standpoint I doubt you'd notice any difference, especially once Hyper-V is supported in Windows 10:

I would imagine resource consumption being much worse on Hyper-V because such containers are basicaly VMs. Am I mistaken?

If you need fast storage resources you may notice a performance hit. Performance for CPU and memory resources seems to be mostly the same as Docker on Linux.
