Please note that Visual Studio knows "final" since vc11 and knows 
"sealed" since at least vc7. So, it's reasonable to write something like

#if _MSC_VER < 1700  // 1700 == VC++ 11.0
#  define BOOST_NO_CXX11_FINAL
#  define BOOST_FINAL sealed
#endif

somewhere in the config/compiler/visualc.hpp and something like

#ifdef BOOST_NO_CXX11_FINAL
#  ifndef BOOST_FINAL
#    define BOOST_FINAL
#  endif
#else
#  define BOOST_FINAL final
#endif

in the config/suffix.hpp. See 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/0w2w91tf%28v=vs.110%29.aspx 
for details.
