3333### Does Docker run on macOS or Windows?
3434
35- Docker Engine currently runs only on Linux, but you can use VirtualBox to run
36- Engine in a virtual machine on your box, and get the best of both worlds. Check
37- out the [ * macOS* ] ( installation/mac.md ) and [ * Microsoft
38- Windows* ] ( installation/windows.md ) installation guides. The small Linux
39- distribution boot2docker can be set up using the Docker Machine tool to be run
40- inside virtual machines on these two operating systems.
35+ The Docker Engine client runs natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows. By default, these
36+ clients connect to a local Docker daemon running in a virtual environment managed
37+ by Docker, which provides the required features to run Linux-based containers within
38+ OS X or Windows, or Windows-based containers on Windows.

43- > Machine, then _ do not_ type the ` sudo ` before the ` docker ` commands shown in
44- > the documentation's examples.
40+ If your version of macOS or Windows does not include the required virtualization
41+ technology, you can use Docker Machine to work around these limitations.
42+
43+ You can run Windows-based ** containers** on Windows Server 2016 and
44+ Windows 10. Windows-based containers require a Windows kernel to run, in the same
45+ way that Linux-based containers require a Linux kernel to run. You can even run
46+ Windows-based containers on a Windows virtual machine running on an macOS or Linux
47+ host. Docker Machine is not necessary if you run macOS 10.10.3 Yosemite, Windows
48+ Server 2016, or Windows 10.
