Missing VarBinary(MAX) filestream storage attribute

Hi
I found the filestream attribute in Beta 1 new features list, but
cannot find any reference to it in the CTP documentation. It allows
direct access to word documents stored in a VarBinary(MAX) column. By
direct access I mean a file path\name to the file as stored in the
database using SQL Server FileStream Agent, also this removes the 2GB
restriction on file size.
Thanks in Advance
vihsFilestream was cut from the SQL Server 2005 shortly after Beta 1.
