 From the user POV they are the same I guess. A local network, that does 
not need any infrastructure.

Though, the mesh on the XO is handled automatically, the ad-hoc network 
requires user interaction to create it. I wonder if we ever will see a 
user using both (not at the same time) on the same machine. To think 
about the visual clash, at least.
