I agree that "from the distance" it might seem possible to run docker on top of OSX or even Windows, because, you know, it's not only about the LXC but the deltas. This is something that many non-linux people ask me "why not in OSX if it's based on..." and they are right... somehow.
I disagree because we know how different the 3 systems are and we know that they cannot come up with a standard for something as simple as CSS much less they will arrive to define a common "LXC" interface.
It is not about other kernels offering similar features, but kernels having the same common interface. As I said, it would be great, but it won't happen.
