In the all things root thread it says it can root the leak version of 4.0.3 does that include the official version also?

This method works on stock a500 ICS 4.0.3 builds: Full root for A50x ICS 4.0.3[LEAK]. Simple method. - xda-developers

That link is also referenced under the "Guides" section here: http://androidforums.com/iconia-tab-a500-all-things-root/516533-acer-a500-all-things-root-guide-updated-22-april-2012-a.html

Thank you. That's the method I was wondering about. It said "leak build" so I wasn't sure.
