  2. I've found Wikipedia generally the best source of release dates.
    Much easier than going to Microsoft I've found.

    Generally they are listed in the primary info bar on the right.

    Useful information such as current version and dictiontion between RTM (Released To Manufacturing / completed and available to MSDN subscribers) and Retail (available to buy in a store).
