True. But KVM unable to run Mac OS X, that's main reason to use VirtualBox.
Less important things: KVM don't support 3D acceleration; don't have
signed drivers for guest Windows (and thus require switching Windows to
"Testing mode" to install drivers); sometimes it need awful tricks like
building custom BIOS from patches sources; I can't give my KVM virtual
machines to friends which use Windows as host OS; etc.
KVM works and this is very good, but for now it's still far away from real
products like VMware or VirtualBox.
