are you working with Apple to bring native docker to that platfrom?

I don't know that Apple would ever feel that pressure. They really just don't cater to developers, if you look at the issues with the Mac App Store for an example.

That said, it would allow for a more consistent developer experience for application/server development towards how things are deployed with containers on Linux. The biggest advantage OSX really has is that you get a clean UI for when you are simply a user, and a unix environment with the same tooling you use to build applications that will be deployed on Linux.

My true hope for this, was actually to see something beyond boot2linux. And, oh I really wish that HP didn't disable the virtualization support on their lower-end desktops (what I'm currently stuck with at work). VMWare workstation is really the only option for me, and running Ubuntu under that for *nix dev/testing.

I really hope the Microsoft partnership does put some pressure on Apple to provide this support as well. But it just feels like something that isn't really their style. While having software components appear like "just another container" is great for developers, its very anti-Apple. They don't view the iphone as "just another smartphone". Everything Apple is standout/special in some way. I hope I am wrong though because I love Docker and would welcome this with open arms.

Outside of the frame of talking about partnerships but talking as an apple/Docker fan, Docker running on ios would be awesome

I can't comment on unannounced partnership or details, sorry!
