[QUOTE="solmyr, post: 715974, member: 65563"] Hey, I'm planning to have a TC this month and I need some advice from you guys before I make my final decision:) At home I have a mac book, a windows xp desktop and I also use company's thinkpad laptop for business purposes. Meanwhile, I use windows xp platform more than OS, so I have the following concerns about TC compatibility with windows: 1. How is the general speed for file transmitting between PC to TC? 2. As I'm a consultant and I travel a lot, so I'm inclined to carry TC for file storage and network sharing purpose (in case there is only one cable access in client's office, I can use TC to share network to the entire team). Can my colleague's PC connect to my TC without installing any apple software? 3. For PC without wireless function, can it access TC's hard drive using Ethernet cable port? If so, does TC have to stay connected to WAN in order to do so? Thanks in advance:) [/QUOTE]
