I'm conteplating purchasing a Time Capsule for backup of several Macs via Time Machine. Will I be able to partition the HD in order to do this?

No. However, you don't need to partition to backup several Macs to it.

No you can't. Not easily... You'd have to open it up, remove the hard drive, partition it using other means (install it in an external enclosure, etc.) and put it back into the Time Capsule. It supports partitions but provides no means to do so. Be warned though, this WILL void any warranties.

Edit: Here's the page in case you're wondering.

No you can't.. You get folders for each computer, but not partitions..
