Does MS Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 compile C++11 raw string literals?

When Update 1 CTP back in November 2012 came out, several blogs and also channel9 video demonstrated raw literals as an added C++11 feature.

I updated VS2012 to Update2 (April 2013) and the version now shows 17.00.60315.1 but I get compilation errors:

error C2065

Was raw string support removed after the CTP or did I overlook something obvious?

The November CTP was not for Update 1, it was for "some unspecified future update".

Now Update 2 has been released, which contains nothing relevant to C++11.

The November CTP might eventually be released as Update 3.

Or it could be Update 4, or perhaps Update 14. Microsoft clearly isn't in a hurry. But outside of the CTP, these C++11 features are not yet supported by MSVC in Update 2 or earlier.
