-Gershwin was the codename for an ambitious OperatingSystem that was supposed to be released as MacOS 9 by [Apple] in 1998. Successor to the [Copland] project that was cancelled in 1997, it never really got off the ground and rumor has it that no programmers were ever actively working on Gershwin. The version of [MacOS] widely known today as MacOS 9 bears little resemblance to Gershwin although it undoubtedly contains some features that were enhanced from their origins in the [Copland] project, most likely with ideas developed for Gershwin. Some people have tried to suggest that Gershwin was simply renamed to [Rhapsody] and while Rhapsody was certainly closer to the ideas of Gershwin than [MacOSX] when it was released, they are fundamentally different OperatingSystems
with Rhapsody being based on [NeXTStep].

The premiere of Mac OS X Server 1.0 was probably the closest OS ever released to match the original preliminary vision of Rhapsody. However, today the modern codebase of OS X server 10.2.x is on par with Mac OS X 10.2.x, plus additional handy server GUI configuration & maintenance facilities; So it no longer resembles Rhapsody/~NextStep any more than the regular "client" version of Mac OS X and any [NeXT-ish|NeXTStep] apps need to be tweaked slightly to compile properly.
