most of this thread is concerned with the desktop. but powerpc is widely used in the automotive systems. Those systems are running either some form of Linux, an RTOS or a bareboard exec. The modern powerpc SOC's are available in very wide temperature ranges (-40..+125) which makes them attractive for automotive. The QorIQ ppc's are used in networking also.
