Windows Desktop SDK announcement

Link
The RTM release of the Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is now available for download in both ISO and Web Setup format. Web setup allows you to install a specific subset of the SDK you select without having to download the entire SDK. The DVD ISO setup allows you to download the entire SDK to install later. This release of the SDK has three ISOs to choose from. You should pick the version that matches the CPU (x86, x64, or Itanium) you are installing on. Each ISO will allow you to build applications that target all the other CPU platforms. If you install the x86 ISO (which only installs on x86 platforms), you will be able to create applications targeting x86, x64, and Itanium.
Platform Compatibility:
This release of the Windows SDK is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 Candidate, Windows Server 2008, .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 , Windows Vista, and Windows XP.
Visual Studio Compatibility:
This release of the Windows SDK is compatible with Visual Studio 2008 SP1; including Visual Studio Express Editions.
