Not yet available but should be shipping by the end of the year, I believe.  
AMD's equivalent is coming out some time next year.

Not sure that sort of detail is available on Cell yet...  <speculation>However 
it is PPC, and IBM are also sort-of pushing it for blade servers so one might 
hope it's inherited some virtualisation capabilities.</speculation>  PPC970 
should support Xen well, eventually but that's farther off (and I don't know 
that you could buy a suitable workstation with one of those)

We'll see ;-)

Cheers,
Mark
