This statement about the Time Capsule from Apple's promotional information...
"Time Capsule with Time Machine in Leopard is the ideal backup solution. But that doesn’t mean Tiger, Windows XP, and Windows Vista users can’t enjoy the benefits of Time Capsule, too. Because it mounts as a wireless hard drive, Tiger and Windows users simply access Time Capsule directly from the wireless network for exchanging and storing files quickly and easily."

I think that is just a cut/paste error from the AEBS
- Can I just use it as a wireless backup storage device?
- ...is Time Machine the only interface for the Time Capsule?
If they don't want to use Time Machine, but might want to use Air Disk to run an external HD then the significantly cheaper AEBS is the way to go imo.
