How do I debug Visual Studio projects using VMware?

Question

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?

You can find most of what you need to know here: http://blogs.vmware.com/workstation/2008/04/using-the-vmwar.html

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.
