According to issue FDBK25976 Microsoft agree that it should not be marked as 
deprecated, so this is likely to be fixed in the final release (the full URL 
for issue is 
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=38b90972-c662-4f1c-ae6a-28716bac091f) 
but I'm not sure if that URL actually works unless you're logged on.

Interestingly these API's aren't documented as deprecated in the SDK as far 
as I can see, so I wonder if someone just made a mistake?  It would probably 
be a good idea if someone would volunteer to give Microsoft's headers a once 
over and see if there are any other API's that are needlessly deprecated. 
Certainly there plenty of room for frustration here - I've seen deprecated 
warning from std::copy and other std lib algorithms (and no *not* using 
pointers), as well as the C API's.
