Hi, we would like to make sure we're in the know and actively preparing and planning to support our product lines using the newest and most innovative platforms and those including these primary Microsoft products - Windows Server, Internet Explorer and SQL Server and would like to find the best and most reliable way to receive new product alerts, beta release and official release notification information automatically i.e. by subscription or other alert.

You would need to subscribe to connect.microsoft.com and set alerts for the products you are interested in. You can also follow the Microsoft twitter accounts that relate to the technologies you are interested in. Another avenue would be the Microsoft Technet email subscriptions and blogs. There is no one best answer for this, but many different roads that lead to the same place.If you found this post helpful, please give it a "Helpful" vote. If it answered your question, remember to mark it as an "Answer". Rich Prescott | MCITP, MCTS, MCP Blog | Twitter: @Arposh | Powershell Client System Administration tool
