windows vs Platform
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
dockur/windows runs a full Windows desktop inside a Docker container, using KVM acceleration on a Linux host. It automates the Windows installation and exposes the running desktop through a browser-based viewer on port 8006 or any RDP client, with USB passthrough and configurable CPU, RAM, and disk. It needs Docker or Podman on a Linux host with /dev/kvm available - Docker Desktop on macOS or Windows does not provide KVM access to containers and is not supported.
Platform is a software that provides a unified platform for building and deploying applications. It allows developers to create, deploy, and manage applications across multiple cloud providers and on-premises environments.
