Time Machine now works with AirPort Extreme's AirDisk feature

Who knows why it took so long, but the latest AirPort Extreme firmware update (7.3.1, out today) finally brings Time Machine compatibility to AirDisk. In typical Apple fashion, there's no mention of it on the release notes, but the crew over at TUAW says it's working, and commenters are confirming. We're still holding out for Time Machine to work with any NAS we want, but for now, it looks like all you Airport Extreme owners who felt like you were getting played by the release of Time Capsule are finally in the game -- get those USB drives ready for some hot backup nights.

It works...then it doesn't....then it works....then it doesn't....then it works....then it doesn't........ Just what you want in a back up system.

" I dunno whether to pack this thing up and hurl it through the Apple store's storefront or keep my fingers crossed that Apple will very soon grace us with a WORKING 7.4 firmware upgrade"

Lazlo, I would go with your first option except I'd would attach a brick first!
