Paul, NGIO is very, very different from any sort of bus-topology idea. NGIO is more of a switched fabric allowing devices to be connected outside the server chassis, much like Fibre Channel or a network. I don't know much about NGIO yet, but I imagine that the reason it's point-to-point is precisely because of this switched-fabric paradigm.

Plus, I imagine that NGIO uses very few pins or wires, but transmits data across the small number of wires at extremely high speeds. That's another benefit from the P2P: it allows fewer pins and wires.
