![]() ![]() ![]() As soon as Apple had OPENSTEP in hand (and released the final update, 4.2) they started on porting it to Apple's PowerPC hardware (not very hard considering that NeXT had NEXTSTEP running on a prototype of their own PowerPC 601 based hardware that was dropped before anyone could use it with the rest of the NeXT hardware division in 1993). When Apple bought NeXT it wanted NeXT's mature operating system as a replacement for the Mac OS and (more importantly) the canceled project call Copland. Originally the NeXT OS was called NEXTSTEP (version 0.8 to 3.3) and later OPENSTEP (versions 4.0 to 4.2) but the last version which was an Apple OS as call Rhapsody (versions 5.0 to 5.6). Rhapsody is the given name for the last full version of what started out as the NeXT OS. It seems to be the part that makes it most notable to those who have heard about it.
