Given current interest from Microsoft towards C++ compatibility in their compiler, and the capacity they have of getting things done (basically, money), I'd be surprised if they'd fall behind for that long.

The timeframe “2 whole years” might seem like a long time to us, but not everybody lives in the world where they adopt new toolsets so quickly.  That’s my concern about dropping VS 2010 support.  So this is both a question about how fast Visual Studio moves, but also the people who use Visual Studio.
