Umbraco Version - <add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="4.0.3" /> ASP.Net - 3.5 Windows/IIS - 7/7
So I'm brand new to Umbraco but have developed for DNN for 5+ years so I'm familiar with CMS and web installation packages. And I hope what I'm about to describe is completely common or something incredibly dumb. Now, I've installed Umbraco under a virtual directory (http://localhost/umbraco/) and made the necessary web.config changes to get it work...
Ok so I stepped through the install wizard and had no problems. I made it to the final page that has "umbraco has opened in a new window" with 2 links: "Restart Umbraco" and "Browse Your Website".
"Restart Umbraco" This opens a new window with the url http://localhost/umbraco/umbraco/umbraco.aspx". The page has buttons at the top for "Create", "About", "Help", and "Logout as Administrator", and also a search box. In the middle of the page there is a "loading" bar. The page never loads anything and the only button that gets any kind of action is the "Logout" button, this redirects me to a login page.
"Browse Your Website" This is what I get when I click that link.
Page not found
No umbraco document matches the url 'http://localhost/umbraco/'
umbraco tried this to match it using this xpath query'/root/node/node [@urlName = "umbraco"] | /root/node [@urlName = ""]')
This page can be replaced with a custom 404 page by adding the id of the umbraco document to show as 404 page in the /config/umbracoSettings.config file. Just add the id to the '/settings/content/errors/error404' element.
The key here is "... under a virtual directory.." which is not supported in Umbraco. Best to move Umbraco to its own web site and you'll be in business. You can also install from the MS /WEB/ gallery which set this up for you:
Alright so I bit the bullet and removed the web.config changes to get it back to default and set it up under it's own website. This got me going. Thanks.
Is there any reason why this is necessary as opposed to just running it under a virtual directory? Just wondering why it was done this way?
Installed fine but does not work.

For more information, visit information about custom 404 on the umbraco website.
This page is intentionally left ugly ;-)
Any kind of help or answers would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty lost as to what to try next. Thanks.

Welcome!
Unfortunately, Umbraco doesn't work in a virtual directory. (see http://our.umbraco.org/forum/getting-started/installing-umbraco/6419-Issues-with-using-Umbraco-in-Sub-folder--Virtual-Directory)
I believe it's currently being worked on.
