If you've got the November bits hanging around, here's the unistall tool.

Windows SDK for the December 2005 CTP (The like on the related links page points you to the November CTP SDK)

This works with VS.Net 2005 (Release) 

Enjoy!

I can't believe I forgot this link!  Be sure to download the WinFX development tools (Cider)!  Here's the Overview snipped from the site.
