New Server Software Expected From Apple

Apple Computer Inc. is expected today to introduce a version of its Macintosh operating system for computer servers and possibly details on the next version of the operating system for its popular personal computers. The major upgrade of the software, its biggest overhaul in many years, will combine features from the current Mac OS and Next Computer Inc.’s Rhapsody operating system. An Apple spokeswoman would say only that interim Chief Executive Steve Jobs plans to make a significant software and strategy announcement today.
