For sure, but corporate types (finance in particular) are very copycat cya ... So this is something they can show their bosses
The CEO of Wells Fargo is on their board, so would be very interesting to see how that played out.

microsoft now also basically embeds an LXC runtime in their OS as an optional component and appears to be throwing a lot of money at Canonical these days

That would be a really interesting direction. I would still avoid windows but would like this change
