Hey I'm getting my first mbp soon and I want removable storage that doesn't stick out so I can just keep it connected as long as I want. I'll also have windows 7 through bootcamp so I thought this would be a good way to share data between partitions. Is this a good choice? Also, can I do the time machine (capsule or machine I forget the term) back ups onto it?
Got a tip for us?

First off, if the removable storage doesn't stick out, how would you take it out?
sort of defeats the purpose, no? As for alternatives you can find amazingly small flash drives at most tech stores nowadays for around $10-$40. On my mbp, I had Windows XP installed through a program called VMware Fusion. It runs Windows smoothly inside Mac OS X so you can transfer files easily. I did notice a lag when playing Youtube videos and other flash based stuff in the virtual machine.
I wouldn't know from personal experience but you will most likely be able to backup your virtual machines on a time capsule.
I thought the port would be spring loaded so it would go all the way in. I guess I'll look into a small USB drive that won't break easily if I leave it in. Also, I don't want to use emulators I want windows 7 to have full access to the hardware. So thanks for the help!
This MR post seems pretty close to what you are after.
