"windows docker": if that means docker for windows, running Windows container, then no.

You could run windows container on Linux the same way you are running Linux Container on windows: through a Virtual Machine emulating the target host.

Update Dec. 2016: Kubernetes 1.5 might offer a solution: see "Linux machine with docker deploy windows container"
