The Microsoft Parallel Patterns Library (PPL) includes concurrent_vector and concurrent_queue and they added concurrent versions of unordered_map, unordered_multimap, unordered_set, and unordered_multiset to the Concurrency Runtime sample pack v0.33 and newer.

/MT imply you want to link to multithreaded runtime library (which is compatible to multithreaded application), but it does not make the runtime library is thread safe.

Thread safe containers usually make no sense. Consider a 'thread-safe` queue:

if(!qu.empty())
{
    // 1
    qu.pop();
}

What if during #1 the queue is modified and it becomes empty? It breaks the code. This is why you should use locks in your code rather than 'thread-safe' containers.
