Can you get notified when MS Releases new OS versions?

So Windows 11 24H2 was RTM'd last month and Server 2025 has been released in the last few days.

In my work, we're required to provide support from day-zero of when MS drops new versions of their OSs.

But it seem to be impossible to be notified that they have released.

I appreciate that endless news/blogging outlets provide information when new versions are available, but I really want to be notified (preferably by by MS themselves) when new versions are available.

I'm not fussed about hotfixes, sec updates, etc., (I may be in the future) but for now I'm just wanting the full releases.

So how do you fine folks get notified when they are available?

but also

you are not, maybe on paper, but not practically

you'd have to download images, test images, configure for deployment

what about releases, where the volume license media is generally released later than the retail media ?

all of that takes time, so that happening 1 days after 2 days after 3 days (and so on) after is neither here or there
