Upcomming Updates

Hello All,

Is there a way to find out in advance of the upcomming updates for a month.
Now we wait for the updates to show up in windows update and then go and
research the scope of their impact before we apply them.

Ideally I think there should be a website or RSS feed that shows when
updates are released and links to the relative KB and other docs.

If anyone knows a good way to keep on top of updates comming down the pike
please let me know.

Thanks,
John

No, not in the sort of detail you need. Microsoft deliberately do not
publish details about updates until they are released because to do so would
give the black-hats an opportunity to exploit vulnerabilities before the
fixes are available.
