Yes you read that right! Windows 8 Build 7850 (final M1) has managed to slip through and has landed into the wild.
The Build number of the leaked 6.1.7850.0.winmain_win8m1.100922-1508_x86fre_client-enterprise_en-us.iso is 6.1.7850.0.winmain_win8m1.100922-1508 
which means that it was compiled on 22nd September 2010.
The leak has been posted on a Betaarchive private FTP site and has been confirmed by several reputable sources that it is indeed a legitimate build.
We should note that many of the leaked screenshots showing new features that were published here on Neowin may not be contained within the leaked build. 
The installer will look similar to Windows 7 but the build is part of the Windows 8 branch.
The build that has leaked is 6.1.7850.0.winmain_win8m1.100922-1508_x86fre_client-enterprise_en-us.iso and is the the final M1 and the last 6.1 build.
Windows 8 is expected to enter beta, possibly as soon as this fall, with OEM availability in late 2012 and possible retail availability in January 2013.

Note this is not even in beta stage - it's Milestone 1 (M1) build 7850. It's just for trying out and testing - don't use it as your main OS!
