build list update

‎6.2.7907.0.fbl_x.110109-1800 (FBL)

For anyone who's wondering what FBL stands for, it means Feature Build Lab, and is basically just a number of developers working on a specific feature of Windows 8, and that's their build

Milestone 1

RC <---- What you asked about

Is it thought that Microsoft purposefully allow certain pre-release builds of Windows to leak in order to measure public response and to see what things other people think of that they didn't?

You will have conspiracy theorists that say that MS is feeding these to be leaked, but I don't think that's the case at all. The reason MS puts out beta and RC builds is to collect that data, not leaked builds.
