Thunderbolt availability?

[lieutenantfrost]

Am I correct in assuming that Thunderbolt is not currently available on any Motherboards? (aside from macs of course)

Nope they are available on the ASUS Z77 now - http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=100006654&isNodeId=1&Description=Thunderbolt&x=0&y=0

Thunderbold is available on boards with add-on ASICs to support it. You will have to wait for Haswell to get native Thunderbolt support on the Intel side of the fence.

If Thunderbolt becomes popular enough, maybe some companies will offer Thunderbolt adapter cards.

How long will the wait be for haswell? any idea?

Around June 2013 for launch so still another year to go until you can buy 'em off the shelves.
