I don't think so. The idea is to provide for Windows the same kind of lightweight containerization as docker/LXC provides on linux. So if it were to work the same way, you'd install IIS into your container, and run the container on a host. Having read through the post now, which doesn't have a lot of detail, it seems to me that the picoprocess and library OS concepts are a consequence of not having true kernel-level support for namespaces and something like cgroups. Docker and LXC containers don't host a minimal OS, they share the existing kernel in well-defined ways.
