Rhapsody
     
         {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}.
