Something a little more specific? "Using Docker as a Virtual Machine manager" 
or something (not quite right).

Btw, I notice in the article that you state that Docker containers cannot be 
live relocated or support non-Linux workloads.  In Dockercon recently, they 
demonstrated both checkpoint/restore-based relocation, and Windows containers 
running. (See https://blog.docker.com/2015/06/runc/)

So it might be worth clarifying in the post that they are very nascent 
features, unlike the heavily tested relocation support in Xen.
