The VC++ team has been very transparent here...
Watch Herb's keynote from GoingNative 2012, for example. Listen to what he has to say, too...

Thanks for that, seeing that helps a bit and knowing that its not going to be X-years till next VS release before we get the standard is nice. C++11 is needed and more c++ libraries. Not some new Microsoft c++ language extension.
