We often have 'using namespace std' in our code and msvc10 makes bind visible as std::bind, this generates many conflicts. And why should we use third party code when the compiler comes with it's own implementation? Using tr1 also prevents the including of myriads of boost headers, thus speeds up compiling. And I still hope we could sometime completely remove the boost dependency, because we don't use it at many places, and most functionality is already there (stl or Qt).
