It allows IT professionals to test IP software without worrying about broken or corrupted drivers or hardware.Really?
Actually, it's used for a lot more than just that... It's commonly used by software for IPC or "interprocess communication" where you need to refer to "this computer." It has numerous other uses as well.

Yep. Every so often, I like to post the email address spamTHIS@127.0.0.1 right here in the forum. I figure some 'bot will come by and add it to the spammers' mailing lists. That way they can send their crap to themselves. Hopefully they get a bounce notice, too.
