Hi,

sup 7-E for catalyst 4500-E series switches supports virtual switching technology similar to 6500 VSS.

Following is the link for the discussion forum dedicated to only  supervisor 7-E where we have very specific information about this new  supervisor engine

Data Sheet SUP 7E:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps4324/data_sheet_c78-612364.html

From the latest release notes, i am not seeing VSS feature has been added to 4500 series with sup 7E.

the tentative date for VSS integration has not been made public yet.

However, if you have an accounts team at Cisco, you can contact them and get a heads up under a Non Disclosure Agreement.
