I just installed WMware Workstation for the first time, and noticed that it included some new toolbars in Visual Studio for me to be able to debug applications on a virtual machine.
Has anyone used this feature? How do you use it, and what do you debug with it? What are some of the benefits of debugging under a virtual machine as opposed to me just debugging it locally?

Select the C# or Visual Basic DLL project in Solution Explorer. Select the Properties icon, press Alt+Enter, or right-click and choose Properties. In the Debug tab, select Open Debug launch profiles UI. In the Launch Profiles dialog box, select the Create a new profile icon, and choose Executable.
You can attach the Visual Studio debugger to a running process on a local or remote computer. After the process is running, select Debug > Attach to Process or press Ctrl+Alt+p in Visual Studio, and use the Attach to Process dialog to attach the debugger to the process.

The only benefit is testing your application on another OS. That or your code is so bad you're afraid to run it on your own computer for fear of destroying your system.
