On unix the only point of this would be displaying a remote X app on the 
local session. I don't think the analogous situation really happens on 
Windows, afaik.

(Which does show one advantage of using something other than tcp 
eventually on windows - tcp is just a possible security hole with no 
benefit)

I can't think of a reason windows should have a system bus, either...
