Windows 7 beta SDK now available

The Windows 7 beta SDK showed up on MSDN late Friday and is now available from the Microsoft download center for those without an MSDN subscription. Included in the new SDK is a new version of Orca and details about the new features in MSI 5.0.

At the moment, the documentation doesn’t appear to be available in the online MSDN Library.

I think I found the latter, but the API docs are clear about what the interface does, it was introduced in Vista, and is in shdeprecated.h: none of which gives me any confidence.
