I think kvm and virtualbox support rather different use cases:

  * kvm for serious server virtualization by people who know what they are doing

  * virtualbox for easy desktop virtualization for end users who do not care about how it works underneath and will probably only want one or two simultaneous VMs per host machine.

If Ubuntu is effectively rejecting virtualbox in favor of kvm, work needs to be done to make kvm much easier to set up and use for common desktop/GUI VM use. Is there a blueprint for a GUI for kvm that is at least as easy to use for end users on a desktop machine as virtualbox? Or does such a GUI exist already?
