Unless I've missed some absolutely major announcement, IBM is betting on the PowerPC in all their servers. Well, at least in their RS/6000 and AS/400, which is pretty much their entire high-end market.

The PowerPC never had a serious entry into the desktop market anywhere but the Macintosh to my knowledge.
