Tried it a few weeks ago to run Windows, guest os got corrupted right after installation. Searched Google and apparently this happens quite a lot. I’d say you get what you pay for, but KVM works fine. It’s just slow because there’s no graphics acceleration.

Never had any corruption ever with VirtualBox.

I have. And a whole onslaught of numerous other issues. Most of them seem to be documented in bugs 5+ years old that never get fixed.

I was once a Virtualbox fan boy. But, I'm going with KVM and Vmware moving forward.

I have, plenty of times, so glad I ditched it a few years back - the amount of performance related issues was astounding too.
