Can some tell me where I can find the list of latest updates for SQL Server
2005? I'd like to find a way of being informed when the latest update is
released (I'm assuming Microsoft Update doesn't list the cumulative update
packages released every so often?)?

Thanks - John.

No, there is no definitive place to watch.  I will include a bunch of posts
I have made on new builds below.  I try to stay on top of it, but I am only
human, and have other responsibilities, like day job, family, etc.

And then these guys try to keep a list too, but everyone seems to have
little holes in their lists here and there:

http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com/

Microsoft is trying to maintain a list, but the following one is only 3152+

You'd think the best place to keep track of this type of stuff would MS <sigh>.
