I don't know, maybe more like comparing oranges and tangerines.  There 
are certainly applications where you could use both, but in most cases, 
if you can go gigabit, why would you consider wireless?  If it's too 
difficult to get the wire from A to B, then it's likely you go with 
wireless.

I would generally try a lot harder to get the wire from A to B if I was 
working gigabit verses 100mb though. ;)
