I think it is done that way to cover all possible uses. Some people might need or prefer to use wireless, even for their desktops. If they do need it, it is there. Laptops usually also have an ethernet connection, for those times when it is appropriate to use it. It just makes the machine more versatile.

*I have a new to me, HP Pavillion Desktop. It is a Quad Core with Win 7 Home
64 bit.
In addition to the ethernet connection it also has a Wifi internal card. I
dont know why that would be on a desktop
unles it can use both connections at the same time. Can it ?
