Here's an article on PPC on Linux which could be relevant to the discussion. It focuses mostly on how to run Linux on PPC, but also indicates a growing trend in running Linux on PPC platforms.
Some of Dan Burcaw statements are questionable e.g. His RISC vs CISC e.g. _Modern X86 doesn't directly execute CISC instructions (variable length), they execute RISC (fix length) like instructions. _His claims on cooling is another questionable issue... One could write debunking article against Dan Burcaw 's Outside Intel book.
