you will find the "Requirements" list. It appears as there's no way to use the drive as a back up using time machine, since, well, there's no time machine for windows.
I, unfortunately, can't find any details if the internal drive can be shared with a PC. if it uses SMB, then it's a possibility.

sorry to raise an older thread but i was searching through..
PC's can read the TC, it doesnt matter that the TC is formatted as HFS+, because it is transmitted over the network using a protocol that is readable by all computers.
the only way that i can see PC's being backed up on TC is by going to Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools?Backup then selecting the TC as a place to store those backups...
