Just tried it (on Windows 10 Pro 64 bits). In the end, it works, but I had to work a little bit for this:
- when installing docker, it removed my git and installed its own git instead, without asking for anything. A little bit rude, as I liked my version better... - more serious, the sagemath VM did not start. The reason is that I had VirtualBox 4.2 already installed, while Docker requires VirtualBox 5.0 at least. Docker should have warned me about this, uninstalled the old VirtualBox and installed the new one instead, but it didn't. And then, of course, it could not start, without any error message. I had to dig a little bit to understand what was going on. It would be nice if the error messages of Docker were shown to the user. when the VM can not be installed. The second problem is likely to happen to anyone who has already used a Sagemath VM on Windows. For newcomers, there should be no issue, and then the installation is much smoother than with the previous system (just one file to download, click OK several times, and then everything is functional, so definitely a huge progress!). However, there are still the limitations of virtual machines (for instance, it can not use my systemwide latex, if I understand correctly). Cygwin looks to me to be a more promising route in this respect (sage on cygwin 64 is almost completely functional with good performance, with the exception of a buggy singular - hopefully, trac 17254 will bring improvements when/if completed).
