can I back up vista on a time capsule?

I have a Macbook and an iMac. For wireless I have an airport and an airport extreme. I want to add a Time Capsule because I want to have more coverage in another part of the house and to back up both machines. Im sorry to have to admit, but my wife has a Dell with Vista Home installed. Can she use the Time Capsule also with Vista?

I just purchased a 1TB Time Capsule for my MacBook Pro...can I use it as extra memory or is it just for backing up what is already on my laptop?

In other words can I create a file on my Time Capsule and move data so as to free space on my Pro?

Can I use the time capsule to create a network with my Mac and PCs then back all my computers up on the TM. Then use Carbonite to back up everything?

I currently have a Macbook Pro laptop and a XP SP3 laptop I would like to network together wirelessly. Once I get them networked together I would like to back-up them up to the TM and finally offsite back-up all to offsite storage such as Carbonite..

Can i mirror two computers via a time capsule?

I have a 27" iMac and a 13" Macbook Pro and i want to have both computers to be clones of each other. I want everything that is on my iMac to be on my Macbook and vise vera. Can this be done?

I spoke with one of the guys at the mac store and got a "deer in the headlights" look. I can't believe i am the only one out here that would want this function. I just want all my data to be with me at all times. If i leave town for a day or two i still need to work so i still need my data on my macbook and when i get back to the office i need everything i worked on to show up on my iMac.

Can I use Time Capsule as 1) NAS and / or 2) iTunes server?

So I have a few devices which access the network at home:

- MacBook Pro
- MacBook Air
- iPad 2
- iPhone 4
- Apple TV
- Samsung internet-connected TV
- Playstation 3
- Xbox 360

I'm trying to decide on a single device which can act as an NAS, a single depository for files, and as an iTunes server to use primarily with Apple TV but certainly not limited to this.

Can the Time Capsule function as both, in addition to being the Time Machine back up machine? Neither? Maybe one? No one seems to have a clear answer on this.

Frankly, if it does only Time Machine back ups, I'll be looking elsewhere.
