The last build of Rhapsody for PC Compatibles that left Apple to the developer company was 'Rhapsody DR 2 for PC Compatibles', which is of course outdated in supporting current PC hardware, which makes it a *bit* complicated to run it on new hardware. The Star Trek project was about bringing System 7 to the Intel platform and has nothing to do directly with Rhapsody, although some referred to Rhapsody as 'Star Trek - The NeXT Generation' which of course was a very good pun, too. Apple sells PowerPCs and would lose hardware market share (bla bla old discussion). OpenStep was X86 (Intel) based, so it was kinda clear that Rhapsody was going to be both Intel and PowerPC based, but the Intel version was ditched because of political/financial reasons. Steve Jobs founded NeXT when he was fired from Apple (yes I know he's back). Rhapsody can be called Mac OS X 0.9 or something like that.
