The name given to Apple's planned operating system 9.0 for Mac and PowerPC computers. New features were to include advanced speed recognition, interfacing that adapts to individual users, and new microkernal architecture. However, the System 9.0 has been abandoned in favor of an entirely new operating system called
Rhapsody. Apple's hopes are riding heavily upon the evolution of a new operating system called
Rhapsody that is a revolutinary operating system based upon
NEXTStep technology. (See also
