Multi-platform tags don't work correctly for Windows client #326
Description
Perhaps we're doing it wrong.
C:\>ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22621.1265]
C:\>docker run --rm mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime:6.0-nanoserver-ltsc2022 cmd /c "ver"
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.20348.1547]
C:\>docker run --rm mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime:6.0 cmd /c "ver"
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.4010]That's not the behavior we want, right? The .NET multi-platform tag is servicing up a Windows 1809 image, as opposed 2022. I'm on a 22H2 host system.
Should we be guiding users to not use multi-platform tags for Windows workloads? If not, what's the best practice? I'm wondering if we should remove these Windows entries altogether, in newer releases. It's not really worth it if they produce the wrong results.
Here's the manifest for the 6.0 tag
docker manifest inspect mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime:6.0{
