"Not all user-friendly desktop operating systems are based on Linux; as demonstrated by PC-BSD, it is entirely feasible to turn a "geek" project into a piece of software that can be installed and used by even less technical computer users. Distrowatch talks to Kris Moore, PC-BSD lead developer, about his love affair with FreeBSD and the upcoming PC-BSD 7.0."

If you just want to virtualize several instances of FreeBSD to have a virtualized web server, mail server, and database server, for instance, then FreeBSD jails are a great alternative to virtualization, I think.
If you're looking to run Windows on FreeBSD, then I can see your point; although work is being done to get VirtualBox running on FreeBSD.
