SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2016 is a separate Install

Recently downloaded SQL Server 2016 SP1 and to my surprise I did not find SQL Server Management Studio. This is by design that Microsoft wants user to download it separately, it is free however. In addition to SSMS (v17.0) lots of other components related to SQL Server vNext CTP 2.0 are also installed.

Install SSMS (Release 17) from this link:

SQL Server Management Studio installs the following shown by arrows:
