OpenVZ seems like a great concept but if you install the CentOS and Ubuntu appliances they don't work out of the Box. This is quite de-motivating to new users who want to try out the concept. I see that Debian is fully supported but many users won't understand that that means the other won't work right away (cannot see anything in console) out of the box. I for my part just decided it's too complicated and use KVM
 
See http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/OpenVZ_Console

So its very easy to get the console running. please note, the container works out of the box, ONLY the console it not working - which is not really that important.

but yes, KVM is generally easier to use for beginners, I agree.
