Virtualization: Docker as an helper for dev envs (as well as production scenarios)

Docker provides an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating-system-level virtualization on Windows and Linux.
Allows independent "containers" to run within a single Linux instance, avoiding the overhead of starting and maintaining virtual machines (VMs). [Source: Wikipedia]

INTERNAL: Useful for creating and maintaining dev, test and pre-prod envsironments made available to IS project teams as well as Maintenance and Support (M&S)teams, DevOps (additional terms used in this include or development envs, testing environment, qualification environment, maintenance environment) . 
But also used in production: e.g. used at the OVERSEE S&R IS for production environment (for fault tolerance, several app servers or web servers at the same production VM for instance, several RDBMS instances, etc.).

TOOLS: NewFileGo (productivity tools - File watcher task runner)

From the same supplier of ARS Clip (Clipboard Manager), the NewFileGo is another important productivity enhancer, allowing you to perform a task every time a file appears on a certain location.
For repetitive tasks it's the dream of everyone.

NewFileGo can be downloaded here:

TOOLS: ARS Clip cliboard manager (productivity tools)

ARS clip is THE free, open source (mainly windows-based) clipboard manager: http://www.joejoesoft.com/vcms/97/

Quoting:
ArsClip is a freeware "clipboard manager" utility. ArsClip monitors the clipboard and keeps track of the entries. Pasting is done by using a triggered popup window. This window can be triggered by a hotkey, holding right-click, a special trigger window, and other methods.
ArsClip used to be barebones, but I think I can safely say that it has become a nicely featured and highly configurable program, due to user feedback. The program now specializes in copy-and-paste automation tasks.
Delphi XE2 source code included
Features
- Permanent Clips/Macros for copying and pasting automation 
- Picture, RichText, File Copy, Unicode, HTML support
- Highly configurable
- Win7 Jumplist support
- Optional Clipboard Bar -- clipboard viewer
- Optional Global Clipboard to shares clips with other Windows and Android devices 
Requirements
This program requires no installation, but an optional setup program is included. Supported on Windows XP through Windows 10.

Interesting features include:
- Shortcut to recent items as a context menu (Ctrl+Shift+Z)
- Permanent items
- Persistence between restarts
- Stripped down format paste (Ctrl+Shift+V)
- The global shared clipboard (not yet tested by me)

Cons:
- Some minor issues: Slight instability (Windows 8), initial error setting global keyboard hook and some minor problems with OneNote (copied values are always pasted as image in certain apps).

PS. Also from the same supplier, make sure to check a very interesting tool for automating file-based tasks. If you like it, think about making a donation.

TBC: How does is stack against Ditto?
