Denali = SQL 2012. If you are referring to the CTPs... Betas are betas, 
but I have not heard of anyone having had the problem that the new SSMS
occluded the other one. I am fairly confident that you did just not care 
to find it.

Yes, that's the RTM version of SQL 2008 which was released before
Windows 7 was released. You should be able to install it, but you 
need to apply a service pack to have a supported installation.
