    I have the alienware m15x and a friend of mine has a new regular dell laptop. we want to wireless network when NFS hot persuit comes out. can we just network or do we need to buy something. also will multiple networking work with windows 7 home or would we need to up-grade the OS system?

    I have never tried it over ad-hoc but it might work. I always use a router. Also any OS would be ok.
