+# Extremely important - do not change the following line to reference a "specific" image, 
+# such as `mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019`. If using this Dockerfile in process
+# isolated containers, the kernel of the host must match the container image, and hence
+# would fail between Windows Server 2016 (aka RS1) and Windows Server 2019 (aka RS5).
+# It is expected that the image `microsoft/windowsservercore:latest` is present, and matches
