To preview ASP, you need to process it. It requires a server. Its code - its not 'compiled' like HTML (which isn't strictly a proper analogy, but for the purposes of this discussion, it's valid).
Even if you use something like Visual Studio, it still uses IIS to do the work. Not sure what you mean by 'no-one has preview ASP working'.
It's only possible to get PHP working via a plugin, but I don't believe you can do the same with ASP. This may be due to ASP being closed source compared to PHP being open-source, but I may be talking nonsense there... just guessing and mumbling to myself.
