Kitematic: image operating system "windows" cannot be used on this platform

[davenso]

I am trying to run download and run Microsoft IIS, but got the error message:
"image operating system "windows" cannot be used on this platform"

This is a Windows Container image only - Please see the documentation for this image and the requirements.
To learn more about Windows Containers, please see this post:
https://blog.docker.com/2016/09/build-your-first-docker-windows-server-container/

Additionally, if you're running Docker for Windows, you can switch to using windows containers:

I am trying to do auto build an image in docker hub and getting this error.Is auto build only supported for non windows images ?

[sraddhananda]

if you enable experimental in docker settings, it will let you run windows images.

"Windows Container image only" seems to defeat the purpose of using Docker at all.
