 The output of the final `pwd` command in this `Dockerfile` would be

+On Windows, `WORKDIR` behaves differently depending on whether using Windows
+Server containers or Hyper-V containers. For Hyper-V containers, the engine
+is, for architectural reasons, unable to create the directory if it does not
+previously exist. For Windows Server containers, the directory is created
+if it does not exist. Hence, for consistency between Windows Server and 
+Hyper-V containers, it is strongly recommended to include an explict instruction
+to create the directory in the Dockerfile. For example:
+
+    # escape=`
+    FROM microsoft/nanoserver
+    RUN mkdir c:\myapp
+    WORKDIR c:\myapp
