Normally if you use a base station you're OK. If you want to use "ad-hoc" mode, you should be aware that there are two different definition of "ad-hoc". There's "demo ad-hoc" mode which has a number of restrictions, and there's IBSS mode, which works with Microsoft. I don't know if Microsoft has any support for demo ad-hoc mode.
