g ap's are backward compatible with b which isn't quite the same thing as 
interoperable... particulary as some of theem were released before the 
standard was ratified...

a operates in the 5ghz ism band... 

a-b-g cards are hitting the marketplace and dual a-b ap's are now 
relativly commonplace. a has the advantage of having at least 8 
non-overlapping channels. 

I don't personally see any of them being a clear winner although devices 
that support just b will likely be supplanted by devices that support 2 or 
more of the standards.

  In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last
  resort of the scoundrel.  With all due respect to an enlightened but
  inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.
