The naming is described here:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#library-naming

The 's' linking statically to the C++ standard library and compiler 
runtime support libraries.

Thus boost libs without 's' are built to use the runtime dll, while 
boost libs with 's' are built to use the static runtime libs.

So I'm not sure what you don't understand?

By default, MSVC autolinks to boost selecting the library according to 
your project's Property: C/C++ | Code Generation | Runtime Library setting.
