I am not much of a Windows user or expert, but setting it up on a machine at work was _trivial_ about a good 12 to 15 months ago: run the boot2docker installer exe. And you're done. And with that I had a container with RStudio-Server-on-its-Linux running in Windows and the Windows browser connected to it -- for several weeks. I can only imagine that the tools have gotten better since. AFAIK they got reworked/rebranded are now called Docker Machine / Docker Toolbox.
