Rhapsody
<operating system> Apple Computer, Inc.'s next-generation operating
system for PowerPC processor-based systems capable of running Mac OS. Rhapsody
includes four components: the Core OS, the Blue Box (the implementation of the
Mac OS within Rhapsody), the Yellow Box, and the Advanced Mac Look and Feel.
"Rhapsody for Intel" runs on Intel processors [which ones?]. It includes the
Core OS, the Yellow Box, and the Advanced Mac Look and Feel, but lacks the Blue
Box and therefore is unable to run Mac OS software.
"Rhapsody Developer Release" is a developer-only release of Rhapsody, scheduled
for release in late 1997. It will go to all members of the Macintosh Developer
Program and the Apple Media Program worldwide who have signed nondisclosure
agreements.
"Rhapsody Premier Release" will be the second release of Rhapsody, scheduled for
early 1998. It is meant for early adopters and will include a partially finished
human interface and a partial implementation of the Blue Box.
"Rhapsody Unified Release" will be the third release, scheduled for mid-1998. It
will be the first public release, and it will include the first full
implementation of the Rhapsody human interface and the Blue Box.
