Several existing classic Mac OS frameworks were ported, including QuickTime and AppleSearch. Eventually, the non-Apple platforms were discontinued, and later versions consist primarily of the OPENSTEP operating system ported to Power Macintosh, merging the Copland-originated GUI of Mac OS 8 with that of OPENSTEP. Its OPENSTEP based Yellow Box API frameworks were ported to Windows NT for creating cross-platform applications. Rhapsody represented a new and exploratory strategy for Apple, more than an operating system, and runs on x86-based PCs and on Power Macintosh. Targeting only developers for a transition period, its releases came between Apple's purchase of NeXT in late 1996 and the announcement of Mac OS X (later renamed macOS) in 1998. Rhapsody is the development series of Apple Computer's next-generation operating system.
