	Rhapsody (OS) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rhapsody was the code name given to Apple Computer's next-generation operating system during the period of its development between Apple's purchase of NeXT in late 1996 and the announcement of Mac OS X in 1998.
		Rhapsody was first demonstrated at the 1997 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).
		To composer George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." In addition, the name "Gershwin" had been used by Apple as the code name for another next-generation operating system, which was to be the successor to the never-completed Copland operating system.

	collector in search of Rhapsody DR - The macosxhints Forums
		Rhapsody DR2 (Rhapsody 5.1) was an almost finalized versions of the Rhapsody OS that Apple was planning on releasing to the public.
		Given that, Rhapsody DR2 is almost the same as all other later versions of the Rhapsody OS in both the look and feel of the system.
		So any of the Rhapsody releases from 5.1 on should give you almost the same experiences, so if that is what you are looking for, you may want to broaden your search to include Mac OS X Server 1.0 and 1.2 (note that 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 are actually downloadable upgrades of 1.0 from Apple).

	Macworld: Technically, It's Still Summer
		Macworld also reports that OS X is still on target for delivery by the end of 2000; new Macs are supposed to come with a final version of the new operating system installed through the latter period of 2000, and older operating systems will be phased out of new Macs by January 2001.
		The other large population awaiting the release of OS X -- Apple users hoping to get their hands on a beta release -- learns that a public beta version of OS X was due out during the summer.
		A public beta version of OS X is supposed to debut at Apple Expo in Paris, France during the week of September 11, thus fulfilling Steve Jobs' promise to release OS X beta in summer 2000.

	MacAddict Forums / Mac OS Rhapsody: Who's Doomed Project?
		OS X server 1.x evolved from there, and it is then that the Intel ports stop being released, at least publicly, and this is where the "marklar" rumour may prove true.
		OS 8 and Rhapsody (which really was nothing more than a code name; similar to Puma, or Jaguar) were being developed along side each other, until the day when Rhapsody would take over as the OS full time.
		Rhapsody was the first adaptation of NeXT for the Mac, and was the base from which the current OSX was built.

		Last month, Rhapsody was identified as the core technology for Apple's next Macintosh OS, Mac OS X (ten), as well as a possible server OS.
		A farewell to Rhapsody may be premature, but in terms of an evolving product, the OS will not be part of Apple's long-term plans.
		The version of Rhapsody for Power Macintoshes was code-named the "Blue Box," and "Yellow Box" was a code-name for Rhapsody development on Windows NT, Windows 95 and eventually Mac OS platforms.

	creativepro.com - Road to Mac OS X: Carbon Versus Cocoa
		The Carbon environment runs all Mac OS 8 and OS 9 applications whose code has been optimized for Mac OS X. When you read of an application that's been "Carbonized," its code has been "tweaked" to take advantage of some of the features of the next generation operating system.
		Carbon also includes additional APIs and services specifically developed for Mac OS X. While Carbon is the means by which most Mac developers will get their apps up to speed for Mac OS X, Apple recommends Cocoa for developers with new ideas who are creating applications for the future.
		It's still around as Mac OS X Server, and parts of Rhapsody technologies will become part of Mac OS X. Rhapsody/Mac OS X Server is partially based on OpenStep technologies that Apple obtained in the purchase of the NeXT company.

		A spokeswoman for Adobe Systems, a major developer of software for the Mac, said Rhapsody was originally pitched to Adobe as a client OS, but Apple changed its tune over the course of the last year.
		Apple officials deny that Rhapsody was intended to replace the Mac OS, saying that idea was largely created by the trade press.
		Rhapsody also gives Apple a cross-platform offering with the Yellow Box, an API layer that runs any application written in OpenStep.

		Rhapsody will include a completely new Mac API, the programming interface used to "talk to" the operating system, based on NeXT's OpenStep which will replace the old Mac Toolbox.
		No, Rhapsody is not, at least initially, a plan to bring new users to the Mac.

		This OS (called Rhapsody) wasn't what the developers had thought they were going to get (something they could move their apps to easily).
		Rhapsody is the name given to the fifth version of the OS originally called NeXTstep (similar to how the name changed for the fourth version to OPENSTEP).
		Rhapsody does have it's share of problems and because Apple wasn't planning on using it that long (it lasted longer than they planned by almost two years) they didn't think this one needed a fix.

	Who killed Apple's Rhapsody? \| The Register
		The curious death of Apple's next-generation Rhapsody OS is likely to be one of the less-noticed sideshows of the Microsoft trial.
		Rhapsody, as announced in January 1997, was to consist of NeXT OpenStep-based APIs, a MacOS compatibility module and a Java virtual machine.
		The theory of this school of OS development has not so far worked in practice, but it says you allow users to run their existing apps while making it possible for a whole new generation of compelling apps to take over in the long run.

		Rhapsody is the name given to the fifth major version of the Mach based operating system first made by NeXT computer back in the late 1980s.
		The only way to find out which version of Mac OS X Server you had was to ask the system what version of Rhapsody it was (Rhapsody 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 would be shown when "uname -sr" was entered into the terminal).
		Rhapsody is actually more like OPENSTEP in it's foundations than Mac OS X. This is mainly do to Apple's desire to remove any legacy elements which would have cumbersome licensing (like Adobe's Display Postscript) and replacing them with either Apple generated solutions or open source elements.

		Rhapsody is not only a good direction in which to take the Macintosh operating system, it stands up well on its own when compared to those other operating systems (NT, UNIX and Solaris, for example).
		Rhapsody is being built for two types of users: individuals currently running their Macs at full steam and for enterprise application deployment.
		Rhapsody, on the other hand, is built on a foundation of UNIX, the mainframe and minicomputer workhorse that has kept IS managers happy for decades.

	Review: Napster And Rhapsody For OS X And Linux? Sort Of - News by InformationWeek (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Unfortunately, Linux and OS X users also share a problem that Windows users never worry about -- waiting, often in vain, for popular software that works on their systems.
		Case in point: Sorting through the small army of subscription-based music services to find one that offers major-label music as well as Linux or OS X support is like trying to find a needle in a haystack -- minus the needle.
		That's especially true for OS X users who prefer to buy their music downloads outright, as opposed to renting access to a provider's online music catalog: Thanks to Apple's iTunes Music Store, they can stuff themselves (or, one hopes, their iPods) silly with 99-cent song downloads.

		At the core of that generally positive response from the dwindling number of Mac faithful was the unveiling of Apple's new software development environment, codenamed "Yellow Box," a cross-platform set of application program interfaces that will let programmers write their applications once and run them on a variety of systems.
		Rhapsody's kernel would also have better memory protection than the Mac OS - so when an application crashes, the system will not.
		On a Rhapsody system running on Intel machines, the setup and look and feel will appear to be the same to the end user.

		But aside from the bugs, I think I'd much rather be stuck using Mac OS X DP2 on a daily basis than Mac OS X Server.
		If they decided to try releasing a version Mac OS X for x86 processors, it would be technologically within their means.
		Then there's the fact that the "Executables" directory inside Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X "packages" are subdivided by operating system--an organization that doesn't make much sense if packages only need a single PowerPC-native executable.
