In case anyone else is wondering, it seems to be a graphical remote desktop manager optimized for local virtual machines and a virtual machine launcher.

Not just local. Keywords here are KVM and (for remote systems) SPICE.

I *was* wondering and appreciate your summary summary - thankee. (hell, for a second i thought "SPICE" might have something to do with electronic circuit simulation - just to show how out of it -i- am)

You're not the only one. IMHO, that's a really poor choice of names, given that SPICE, the circuit simulator, predates SPICE, the remote protocol, by about 35 years.

It wasn't Redhat's choice. It was proprietary software developed by a company that Redhat purchased. Since then they have open sourced it.

Excuse me, only hyperbole is welcome in this discussion ;)
The first GNOME Boxes release Posted Nov 27, 2011 6:41 UTC (Sun) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] Yes, but considering that one big market for Red Hat is supplying servers for customers to run electronic design automation software, the name collision is going to be confusing to their customers (though someone's probably checked by now for any clashing command names).
