I can watch Quicktime movies (if I convert them to something Quicktime 3 can play), play games (mainly Doom and Doom II, Omni didn't make an Intel version of Quake II for Rhapsody ), basically most of the things I need from a laptop, and I have gotten to know quite allot about Rhapsody/Mac OS X Server 1.x at the same time (like where to find fonts and how to add them). I have 4 GB of apps and docs on my ThinkPad that is running Rhapsody 5.1, and it goes with me everywhere. If you can live without Blue Box (early version of Classic) and only about half as many apps as there are for the PPC version, Rhapsody for Intel is great.

Knowing what the actual names of these operating systems are makes it easier to see how many people are using them over at SETI (because they aren't listed as Mac OS X Server, they are always listed as Rhapsody 5.x ). The Aqua version of Mac OS X Server is 10.0/10.1 which is based on Mac OS X.
Yeah, Apple thought the name change would help sell it.
For example the installer can somehow do nothing about my RAM (which is normal SD-RAM, nothing really funny, or the message could have nothing to do with the RAM actually but something completely different), which is a pity, because I'd like to have it on my PC. 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for PC Compatibles that left Apple to the developer company was 'Rhapsody DR 2 for PC Compatibles', which is of course outdated in supporting current PC hardware, which makes it a *bit* complicated to run it on new hardware.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.
