That’s... a little bit of a stretch of what it means to be a ‘docker’ container. It’s more a ‘Windows container services’ image, which requires a host Windows OS to run...
But yes, this further gets to the confusion about what ‘docker’ is vs ‘docker desktop’. Docker desktop for MacOS is certainly not going to just magically make it so you can run “docker run -it microsoft-windows” to get a CMD prompt on your MacBook though (but with a Windows VM and the right environment variables set, maybe?)
