VMware is a virtual machine program. At the moment it's the fastest (at least under Windows). QEMU and VirtualBox are alternatives.
There are two free VMWare products available: VMWare Player for preconfigured operating systems and VMWare Server for manual installations. VMWare Server is the way to go if you don't want to pay for a VMWare product, but you have to sign up at VMWare to get it.

Getting debug output
Redirect to file
If you're using a VMware product and want to redirect the serial output to a file, click the Edit virtual machine settings link.
If your virtual machine does not yet have a virtual serial port, add one using the Add button. Then select it and in the Connection box, choose the option Use output file and enter the name of the file, into which the debug output shall be written.
Redirect to named pipe
This page has a good explanation on setting up VMware with named pipe. http://l4ka.org/tools/vmwaregateway.php
