Accessing Virtual Server 2005 Web administration via "LOCALHOST" problem

Just to impart some experience, by default the Virtual Server 2005 installation makes a link available for you to administer Virtual Server on the "Installation Summary".

Well smarty-pants me decided to use http://localhost instead of http://[machine-name] to try to log in to the virtual server console.

For whatever reason, http://localhost/VirtualServer/VSWebApp.exe?view=1 doesn't work but replacing localhost with the loopback address [127.0.0.1] seems to make it work...

http://127.0.0.1/VirtualServer/VSWebApp.exe?view=1

Now to test out this new VS Orcas!

Visual Studio ORCAS January 2007 CTP

Ok, so it says "January 2007 Ctp" yet the files are Dec2006 ctp?  And installing reveals... no linq!  What am I missing here?  I'm drooling to try this out!  Somebody clue me in... I figure its some big pre-April fools' joke...

Am I really the only one seeing this?
