- QEMU and VirtualBox. They both use KVM. Virtualbox does not use kvm. It will use vt-x if you have it. kvm requires it. Its kind of the other way around. Virtualbox uses QEMU as does Xen and I am sure it appears in some form with other virtualization platforms. QEMU is the go-to source for hardware emulation.
qemu yes, kvm no. Virtualbox and kvm (and xen I believe) use qemu for device emulation. Virtualbox does not use kvm (that would make it hard to run on windows after all). qemu-system knows how to use kvm if you ask it to (with -enable-kvm) which is of course much faster than the normal qemu cpu emulation. -- Len Sorensen
