The only implementation at the moment is for Linux. FWIW, I believe BayLISA is planning/hoping to have a speaker at one of our monthly meetings soon. (That's SF Bay area: http://www.baylisa.org/. Anyone in the area at the time is welcome to attend -- no charge. Meetings are on the 3rd Thursday of the month, starting at 7:30 PM. They've been held in Santa Clara recently, though that's in a state of flux at the moment.) From the discussion surrounding the matter, I gathered that InterMezzo was (in some sense) a continuation of the Coda work -- that (some of) the same folks are involved, among other things.
