List of VS 2013 Extensions (Part 2) coming real soon.
Looking for the VS 2012 product info and extensions? Go to Visual Studio 2012 Product and updates (Part 1) and Visual Studio 2012 extensions (Part 2)
Looking for the VS 2010 extensions ? Go to Visual Studio 2010 - List of Product Updates (Part 1) + Extensions (Part 2).
Looking for links to the test adapters, go to this blog post.
The information contains the download links to all versions and updates where applicable, links to information about each version, the version number for each and the release dates. I have also added prerequisites, like the SQL server version necessary.
This is the major download link for all official Visual Studio products.

Note 1
The version number of Visual Studio is not changed when installing this patch. The only place you see it is in the Installed Updates list
Note 2
The Update 1 RC doesn’t include the Queue Build patch.
Unsure which version and update you have ?
Visual Studio:
Go to the top menu, choose Help | About
Note that both the name of the update and the corresponding version number is given.
Go to the top menu, select Tools | Extensions and Updates. Under the Updates | Product Updates section you will see if there is a new update ready for you. Note that pre-releases and hotfixes don’t arrive here.
(Image from VS 2013 preview, but it is the same in VS 2013)
To the far right you see the version number you have, and what version to update to. Since the updates are cumulative, you don’t need to worry about those in between.
Team Foundation Server (on premise):
Use the web access for the TFS. Go to the Help Icon to the far right, and choose “About” from the menu:
In this case I have a TFS 2013 preview server.
Team Foundation Service:
If you are connected to the Team Foundation Service you will not find any version number. It is also always updated to the latest version. You could check the service status page to see if all is working, and to see what has been done at the updates and release notes listed here.
