Microsoft is allowing more Xbox Insiders tojoin its invite-only Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead ringsthis week. The Xbox team uses these two rings to test preview rings of future Xbox One system updates, and they’re pretty much the equivalent to the Fast and now-deprecated Skip Ahead rings for the Windows Insider program.

If you want to join the Alpha or Alpha Skip- Ahead ring, all you have to do is to complete the “Joining new Rings” survey in theXbox Insider Hub. Not everyone will be invited, but your participation lets us know you’re interested,” the Xbox team said, adding that you’ll receive an Xbox Live message in case your application has been accepted.

Both the Alpha and Alpha Skip Ahead rings are currently testing“2006” preview buildsfor the next Xbox One system update coming in June. Microsoft has yet to detail the new features coming in this release, but the company is likely continuing to work on theXbox Guide improvementsthat have been in testing since March.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
