In the past they have done a lot of hype about creating alternative platforms but when push came to shove they have backed off when their high end revenues were threatened. Look at Taligent, Kaleida, PowerPC, and even OS/2. I have my doubts IBM will stay the course.

The PowerPC has been a complete success. Excluding low cost embedded controllers (like what's in a Nintendo), it is the highest volume RISC microprocessor on the market.
