List of Publicly Available Updates for Various Microsoft Products and Technologies

List of Publicly Available Updates for Various Microsoft Products and Technologies

For most of Microsoft products and technologies there's somewhere a list of all (or most recent) updates (patches or hotfixes) that were made publicly available for customers. Usually such a list is published as article in Microsoft Support Knowledge Base or TechNet Library. Those “official” Microsoft web properties have lengthy publishing curve, so those lists sometimes become out of date. That is why often there are also “unofficial” versions of those lists maintained by the community and published in blogs or TechNet Wiki.

This article is aimed to serve as a central place to accumulate the “list of lists”. Use it as a starting point to look for the list of updates for a particular given Microsoft product or technology you're currently interested in.
