They do appear to be channelling the spirit of XC Pro, yes

They make 10 speed versions too:

I may have it wrong but microshift pulls the same as shimano road, not sure these will work with 10s Shimano MTB

I didn't know that there was a difference between road and MTB 10 speed.

I'm running Dura Ace 9 and 10 speed thumbies on two of my bikes with dura ace chains, Tiagra mechs and mtb cassettes without any trouble.

I think I saw some of these on a bike on the Peak District ride on Saturday.
Possibly Keane on his Dyna-Tech.

As far as I know Shimano road and mtb have the same cable actuation on the rear mech but not the front. However, I believe that the new 10 speed mtb (not road) groupsets have a different actuation ratio for the rear.

The tyres on that bike the thumbies are on are a bit special too, aren't they!?!

I hope they work better than the awful Microshift Rapidfire and Gripshift knock-offs, I suppose it's hard to f-up a thumb though. Certainly a nice looking part, anyone find a source yet?

EDIT; never mind, found 'em. At this price I think I'll stick with M732:
