Do the developers use software update to receive newer versions, or does Apple post them a hard copy?

I was just wondering because ADC members got their preview versions later than the developers did, so how does Apple distinguish between the two for newer builds?

I believe they got the same build.
 
It is distributed online, there was a delay from the WWDC but that won't happen from now on.

Thanks.

I wonder how many more builds Apple will release before the Final Candidate?

Does anyone know roughly how many releases there were between the Tiger beta and final release?
 
There will probably be 2 more builds delivered to developers before going GM.
Internally there could be up to 500 builds.
