Windows Dev Container Definitions

[nashley]

Surprisingly, there doesn't seem to be a dev container definition based on Windows. I'm particularly interested in one for Rust, since I'd like to be able to test changes to crates that depend on windows-rs without having to install Windows.

I can cargo build --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu easily, but I can't run tests.

Relates to: Both?

I don't think the VSCode Remote-Containers extension supports Windows containers in the first place. See microsoft/vscode-remote-release#445

Containers:

x86_64 / ARMv7l (AArch32) / ARMv8l (AArch64) Debian 9+, Ubuntu 16.04+, CentOS / RHEL 7+ x86_64 Alpine Linux 3.9+

Thanks for the info! I guess I'll look into setting up a development environment with WINE or ReactOS or something.
