This is only my opinion. I think MS is slowly joining the two rings. When they are finished there will be no difference. If MS decides to continue the Skip Ahead Ring it won't be until the Spring/Summer release. To me the Skip Ahead branch was a waste and I'll be surprised if they offer it again.
I have seemingly solved my install problem with 17017 after more than a week. I have two WD 3.0 external USB drives. They both work flawlessly on FCU, 8.1, and all other builds of windows including all insider preview builds. But, with 17017, one works and the other gives me the volsnap.sys error message with green or blue screen. After I honed in on the issue, I unplugged it, moved it to another computer which has 17017 installed also. As soon as I plugged it in, I booted with a green screen and my friend volsnap.sys error message. Since I also have FCU on the same machine, I booted into that drive, it booted and had no problem with this drive. So, something in 17017 doesn’t recognize this particular drive, driver or ???
