Rhapsody by Apple (1997)
On August 31, 1997, the developer version of Apple's new desktop operating system was released. The software was codenamed Grail1Z4 / Titan1U, and later became known as Rhapsody. Rhapsody was available in both x86 and PowerPC versions. Over time, Apple released Premier and Unified versions, and at the 1998 MacWorld Expo in New York, Steve Jobs announced that Rhapsody would eventually be released as Mac OS X Server 1.0. The distribution of the mentioned version of this operating system started in 1999. When choosing the name, Apple was inspired by the song Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin. It wasn't the only codename that drew inspiration from the music world – the never-released Copland was originally labeled Gershwin, while its original title was inspired by the name of the American composer Aaron Copland. Apple also had the code names Harmony (Mac OS 7.6), Tempo (Mac OS 8), Allergro (Mac OS 8.5) or Sonata (Mac OS 9).
