On November 4, 2004, Microsoft announced the expansion of its security bulletin program to provide all customers with advance information about upcoming monthly security updates. The information provided by the Advanced Notification Service (ANS),. which was released the Thursday prior to Patch Tuesday, has been posted at this forum ever since.
This will no longer be the case. And here's why ...
Thursday, January 8, 2015, Chris Betz (senior director of the MSRC) announced in his post titled, Evolving Microsoft's Advance Notification Service in 2015 :
"Our Advance Notification Service (ANS) was created more than a decade ago as part of Update Tuesday to broadly communicate in advance, about the security updates being released for Microsoft products and services each month. Over the years, technology environments and customer needs have evolved, prompting us to evaluate our existing information and distribution channels."
"We are making changes to how we distribute ANS to customers. Moving forward, we will provide ANS information directly to Premier customers and current organizations involved in our security programs, and will no longer make this information broadly available through a blog post and web page. "
