I want to test drive Microsoft.SharePoint.Client API.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.client.aspx
How can I get Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll?
The 'SharePoint 2010 Reference: Software Development Kit' has samples.

Is there an SDK that has the dll?
This blog annouces a 466K redist.

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Silverlight.Runtime.dll

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Silverlight.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Silverlight.Runtime.dll
other have reported them being in:
%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\ISAPI
which did not exist for me.
Path in SharePoint server(System where it is installed) :
**
