Sun just released xVM VirtualBox 2.1.0, a major update with several new features, among them: better 64-bit support, hardware-assisted virtualization on MacOS, OpenGL 3D acceleration, easier networking on Windows and Linux, emulated SCSI controllers and full VMDK/VHD support including snapshots.

... Having recently switched a large number of machines from VMWare Server (I greatly dislike the v2.x) to KVM and having evaluated VBOX 2.0 as an alternative I was disappointed by the lack of SMP guest support (Compared to KVM's huge-SMP support) and the somewhat mediocre networking support (Especially compared to VMWare).
Hopefully Sun will address these issues in VBOX 3.
(Nothing beats allocating 6 NIC's and 8 CPUs to VM on a 24 core server...)
