This code was added in [containerd@17b6050] (containerd v1.4.0-beta.0), at which time containerd was using go1.13.8, which didn't support system-pools ([x509.SystemCertPool]) on Windows, so an empty pool was constructed, similar to [docker/go-connections@55aadc3]. Support for system pools on Windows originally added in Go 1.8 (through [golang/go@05471e9]), but reverted, and re-implemented in Go 1.18 (through [golang/go@3544082]). Go 1.18 and up now implement this, but, unlike Linux, which uses a pure-Go implementation, certificate validation is handled by the system: > On macOS and Windows, certificate verification is handled by system APIs, > but the package aims to apply consistent validation rules across operating > systems. On macOS and Windows, x509.SystemCertPool returns an empty Pool, with the `systemPool` set to `true` (see [loadSystemRoots]). This must be considered an implementation detail; custom CAs can be appended to this pool, and handled as usual. This patch removes the special handling on Windows, allowing it to use the system-pool, aligned with Linux.
