Is anybody testing on Windows with containers?  I was thinking maybe Virtuozzo.  (Are there any other options that don't involve Azure?)

I'll be retooling our CI's functional testing soon and if I switch to LXC I'm pretty sure my Linux tests will literally run 10x-20x faster than Windows VMs (provisioned through our internal cloud).  That's kind of embarrassing, so I thought I'd see if anyone out there has solved for this already.

It actually works with older versions of test-kitchen using vagrant-windows that connects through WinRM to the windows box (we built a Windows 2008R2 box from opscode bento definitions).

Unfortunately now you have to use SSH with newer versions of test-kitchen and they dropped the use_vagrant_provision option.

Thanks Julian. I'm running the same process minus serverspec.
