VirtualBox does not need full hardware virtualization, still has more 
polished desktop integration, works cross platform, is mostly open-
source ... and now supports running OS X (albeit Server) as guest.

I tend to run both VBox and KVM, depending on what the situation 
requires. KVM tends to be much better at running BSD guests, for 
instance. I've never really used VBox-OSE though -- the VBox build from 
upstream, which has the proprietary bits, is easier to use; it came with 
the source files for the kernel module, and thus you can adjust to a new 
kernel with a simple init.d command.
