Never heard about it and their description sounds a lot like propaganda. Also couldn't find a link to try, purchase or otherwise obtain any product from them, except a contact us link, where I'm supposed to contact them and talk about my company's needs in a compiler.
Also couldn't find a description of what exactly from C++0x is supported?
If you don't mind experimenting with an alpha implementation of a standard that is not yet a standard, maybe you can try ConceptGCC. The tutorial and documentation is quite intriguing, and they are pretty clear on the experimental nature of the project.

VectorC is available for download (at least in theory, I didn't try it) http://www.codeplay.com/downloads/index.html
I remember they annouced C++ edition 2-3 years ago and after this time they confirmed it's ready. However without ability to test it indeed may seem suspicious.

They are attracting mostly games developers, as their powerful optimizer can help a lot with things like 3D calculations/etc.
It has been already used in commercial products for several years, so the tools itself is quite mature, although I think most of the developers using Codeplay's vectorc have also MSCC ready to rescue whenever some piece of source has problems and it is not performance-wise interesting.
I don't think there are many people using it because of C++0x support, the performance of resulting code is *the* reason why people use this compiler.
