In true, "I will neither confirm nor deny" Microsoft fashion, a little bird in Redmond informed me that Pex and Moles will have no further releases, because they are being "productized". Another, larger bird stated, "dependency isolation will be taken care of, in Visual Studio 2012," when I asked if Moles and Pex will be rolled into VS 2012.
The Visual Studio 2012 community technical preview (CTP) is available for download to anybody. However, the Moles and Pex products are not yet integrated into the application. There are several points of integration the need to be perfected, before adding it.

UPDATE: Changed the link and name to reflect the Beta release.
