Updates to the Windows Container Runtime support

This happens either because many container-focused tech was created with developers in mind or because the documentation is not exactly focused on Windows scenarios. With that in mind, I wanted to use this channel to share my learning on using Containers. Here I'll be sharing tips and tricks for Microsoft ITPros using containers, from small things to deep dives... My hope is that this helps more and more people start their journey with containers!
