Virtual machine integration

If you use virtual machine (for example VirtualBox, VirtualPC, VmWare etc), you can create virtual serial port (for example COM10) and specify it as data source for virtual machine.

It may be extremly useful for debugging / development purpose.

Here is VirtualBox settings example (take into consideration that serial port name is: "\\.\COM10"). It is explained in Frequently Asked Questions section.
