Sanchit, good question. This cycle I have been working towards bringing a community hardware database to be utilized for testing purposes like this. We might consider including a flag of some sort to indicate that you utilized a virtual machine for the testing. At the moment, I have been ignoring the hardware profile field when I report virtual machine results. If I encounter a bug, I mention I was testing in a VM in the bug report (it's also obvious from the logs I believe).

Still, even though I am creating and destroying VM's, I could post the generic profile of one, along with the visualization software I use and the host machine I'm running. I suppose then that would be my answer -- I would put a URL that had both :-) Or leave it blank. It would be confusing to put your pc hardware profile in there since you didn't test with it.
