Wireless (in its current state) will never outdo a wired connection. Its slower, security is slack (even when its supposodly protected), you'll have more down time, its more expensive and getting wireless connectivity is fine if your confined to one room, but what happens when you need connectivity for a whole building. Then there is also concerns about cancer from being exposed to too much wireless signals. So as it stands, wlans will never replace lan's.

Probably eventually, but there's really no reason to go wireless in something like an office setting where there are computers with established physical locations. In scenarios where mobility is important, WLAN can already replace wired LAN.
