Rhapsody (operating system)

Rhapsody was the name given to Apple Computer's next-generation operating system. Apple got the Rhapsody operating system when they bought NeXT Inc. from Steve Jobs for $425 million.^[1] The same year Apple released Rhapsody to software developers so they could create versions of their software for the next release of the Apple operating system.^[2] But a key software vendor, Adobe Systems, did not like Apple's plan for the new OS.^[2] Without Adobe supporting them Apple decided not to go ahead with Rhapsody.^[2] Rhapsody was replaced by OS X, scheduled for 1999.^[1]
