user11999: I have ordered my Arduino, but it is not going to arrive until 2 months, and I would like to be able to emulate a COM connection to the emulated Arduino. I am writing a program that listens on the com port, and would like to test it. 
The program needs to run on Windows, and emulate a COM connection, and a breadboard with a LED, and motors on it.

user4169: You could use the Simulator in Atmel Studio or something like Virtual Breadboard which looks good
The Atmel Studio simulator might take a bit of work to simulate your devices but if you have 2 months then maybe that's okay :) If you want to use the simulator in Atmel Studio then you might also find the Arduino plugin for Atmel Studio useful.
I think there are quite a few other solutions if you search google.
