Virtualbox is good, but I dislike having to always recompile a kernel
module every time a new kernel is released. Yes there is DKMS, but it's not
as good as KVM. I use it to run Windows on my Ubuntu, and it is the best
I've found for emulating Windows, with hotplugging of USB, shared folders
etc.

Why don't you just convert the VMDK/VDI they provide to qcow2/RAW, and
import it into KVM, instead of using the other formats?
