TCP/IP over USB
Everyone seems to support RS232 over USB, but you don't see many people doing TCP/IP over USB.
From a programmer's point of view TCP/IP is a far better API than a standard serial interface, principally because of no COM port and baud rate worries. Stack onto this the ability to open multiple communications channels and utilize broadcast packets and you have a very scalable solution.
Microsoft nicely supplies the windows side of the equation with their Remote NDIS (RNDIS)
