Well, I'm not going to touch Nico's comment because I don't know KVM.

For me it's the Devil you know kind of thing.  I've had good experience 
with Vbox on multiple OS and am just playing in my comfort zone.

I do have reasons to explore other VMs but none of them pressing.  I 
just want to install one of the University's "free" site license copy of 
Windows as a courtesy to our students.
