Thank you! We have received a lot of encouraging messages, comments and contribution since our first release, and it is really helping us on working even harder ;-)
Thanks for your questions. There are few differences between Hyper and boot2docker:
1- Docker commands are run inside the boot2docker VM and not directly on the host . Hyper daemon directly runs on your Mac.
2- When using boot2docker, each time you restart the VM, you have to manually mount the drives (and reinstall Fig if you're using it)
3- While boot2docker is a "wrapper" around Docker and VirtualBox, Hyper for Mac is part of the whole Hyper ecosystem, providing a similar environment on Linux, or Mac OS X.
