Docker Windows Server 2016 switch to linux container

In case anyone else comes across this question, Michael Friis indicates on the OP's post that the new edge channel includes experimental support:

The new edge installer supports installing on Windows Server 2016: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/#download-docker-for-windows27

Its intended behavior

Ok. So far as I know. The Linux containers feature is only available on "Docker For Windows" on Win 10. Not normal Docker on WS2016. ...

Because "linux containers" on Win10 does some smoke and mirrors with a Linux VM. >Not a production solution
