Your compiler does not support C++11, so you need to upgrade/change the compiler. It seems that VS2012 supports it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hh567368.aspx.

As for the C++11 Standard Library, we don't have a pretty table of features, but Visual C++ in Visual Studio 2012 does implement it (...) New headers: atomic, chrono, condition_variable, future, mutex, ratio, scoped_allocator, and thread.

Few more links about C++11 support:
