I have VMWare VMs that are necessary for me to use. Installing Docker for Windows enables Hyper-V, which prevents you from being able to use VMWare Workstation or Player. In the future, I would like to see Docker for Windows be able to specify which Virtualization platform to use, Hyper V, VirtualBox or VMWare. I know that I could continue to use Docker Toolbox, but that is not the same on Windows 10. I could also install VMWeare Workstation in a VM and run my VMs nested, but that seems like an unnecessary Russian nesting doll of a setup for something that should just be possible. We already have a Workstation driver for docker toolbox. It seems to me that Docker for “X”, windows/mac, should be able to integrate with these drivers and I should be able to deploy my containers with Docker for “X” on any of those platforms, instead of it being tied directly to windows hyper v, or on mac, virtual box.

Perhaps in 1.13. Until then I will have to continue to use Docker Toolbox.
