Can I connect my laptop from work (Dell / HP) to a Thunderbolt Display?

I would like to buy a Macbook Air for home but I would like to use one monitor for both, my PC from work (Dell / HP) and my new Macbook. I really like the Thunderbolt display but I am not sure if it will work with my PC.

Can I connect Mac Book Pro i7 Thunderbolt to 27" Cinema to iMac (via Thunderbolt adapter)?

Just bought a new 17" i7 MacBook Pro and a 27" cinema display. Both are Thunderbolt. So I should be able to add another 27" display via daisy chain?

Can I connect to an external Thunderbolt HDD using the Thunderbolt on the display?

I have purchased a Thunderbolt NAS drive from Apple recently and also have a Thunderbolt enabled Macbook Air.
My question is that if I purchase then new Display, can I connect the NAS through the Thunderbolt port on the back of the Display?
I know this is the case for USB but does it work for Thunderbolt connected drives as well?
Thanks!

Thunderbolt display cable length/extension

Apple doesn't say, but I've read that the integral Thunderbolt cable is just one meter (or three feet approx.). I have also read that it is possible to extend this by purchasing the two meter Thunderbolt cable from Apple and connecting to the extra port, but then I will not have powered USB / Firewire ports on the display.

Question: is there a connector that would allow me to extend the integral cable by adding Apple's cable and thus retain use of the Thunderbolt port and allow power to the USB & Firewire ports.

I am will be using this with a rMacbook Pro. I have some work I need to do at a few feet distant from the monitor.

Thank you.

Will the 27" Thunderbolt Display power a USB SuperDrive?

My SuperDrive works only if I plug it directly into my Retina Display MBP, thus taking up one of the USB ports. My powered USB hub will not power the SuperDrive, and neither will the USB ports on the back of my 30" Cinema Display monitor.

If I get the 27" Thunderbolt Display, can I plug the SuperDrive into one of the USB ports on the back of the display and draw enough power from it?

If I daisy chain two Thunderbolt Displays, can I do two different tasks at the same time?

For example, on the first display I would like to open up a Word file and work on it while the other display is in Excel.
