Does anyone have a recommendation for whether to install Windows 7 on
a separate partition or not? Are there advantages to having a
separate partition? or do the disadvantages outweigh this? Thanks
for your experienced help.

If you partition you can clone your windoze disk for backup.

If you don't partition, what does TM do with it? I'll guess that it
does back it up but the restore fails? How did you decide what size
to use for your Windows partition and what size did you choose?

Then again, if you install onto a virtual drive, you won't have to
partition anything, and you can back the virtual drive file up quite
easily.
