I think if downloading a self-contained docker binary, solves the version conflict, then we should just go with that approach. Zeshaan, already provided a means to set a default docker binary on Windows ( using `set` command ). This will give flexibility to the end-users, as they can choose whichever way they want to maintain their docker versions. Perhaps this should go in the user documentation.

The later solution i.e. using docker API ( from within guest VM ), is good because it will make the whole experience seamless for the user. However before we step-up writing any code, lets brainstorm the functionality we want to provide here. Specifically because, this will involve understanding Docker API, as well as Vagrant plugins.
