I've been trying to figure this out from the docs, but how does it support Windows? In the sense that for now (until Server 2016 comes out), you don't really have "container support".

Concourse just talks to Garden, it's up to the Garden backend whether or not it actually does containerization. So on Windows it just does the world's worst containerization (cd'ing into a directory), though it at least guarantees that the processes all die.

There's a proper Garden Windows backend in the works which we'll switch to at some point once we better understand it: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/garden-windows
