Schedule for WindowsXP Updates

Can anybody point me to anywhere where I may find the following?

1) A schedule of windows XP updates
2) A description of the changes and/or effects that each of the updates has.

Cheers
Steve

The second Tuesday of each month.

Thanks for that information but is that not just a link to the update and a
description of it that appears on line after/when it has been released?

I run a small software team for a business who make scientific
instrumentation, our products are shipped with a PC running WindowsXP Pro and
we increasingly have to spend time providing fixes to problems seen after an
update has been released.

So, ideally I would like to be in a position where I could receive
notification of pending updates well in advance of their actual release date.
I will then be able to plan for my team to provide any required fixes in a
more efficient manner and aligned better with the release of an update.

I have just registered for notification of updates but my guess is that will
only notify me of their release and not of their planned release( forgive me
if I am wrong )

regards

Stephen
