alt Hacker NewsIt's literally just dockur/windows:latest + FreeRDP rootless mode + a small daemon that runs in the VM that tells you what apps are installed via an API.
If you don't want the latter part, you'd be better served with the dockur/windows image + FreeRDP

can you do "pass a single window" with freeRDP? I haven't actually seen that before so forgive me for asking.
This project looks like it does that, but I could be wrong.

I believe Cassowary (https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary) is an older tool that does pretty much this.
My experience with it is that FreeRDP in rootless mode isn't very good for Windows applications that do anything special with window borders. Using Office and many other programs became a pain.
When it worked, it worked really well, though. Reminds me of the same feature that VMWare used to offer many years ago for running XP/Vista programs on Windows 7 through a VM.
