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?
