An actual explanation of what the software does, from their Github repo

> WinBoat is an Electron app which allows you to run Windows apps on Linux using a containerized approach. Windows runs as a VM inside a Docker container, we communicate with it using the WinBoat Guest Server to retrieve data we need from Windows. For compositing applications as native OS-level windows, we use FreeRDP together with Windows's RemoteApp protocol.

Why do they need a docker container and a vm?

[onehair]

because windows isn't bloat enough /runs-away-as-this-joke-might-not-be-funny-toall-xD

VM runs the actual thing, and docker is package manager.
