Creating a Noncopyable class and inherit into my class

Question

I am trying to create a non-copyable class and inherit it to myclass. Here's how the code looks:

template<class T>
struct NonCopyable
{
protected:
    NonCopyable() {}
private:
    NonCopyable(const NonCopyable& x) = delete;  
    T& operator=(const T& x) = delete;
};

The delete allows a third mechanism through re-use of the delete keyword to define a function as “deleted.”

class Myclass : public RefCnt, private NonCopyable<Myclass>
{
    virtual unsigned int GetID() = 0;
    virtual bool Serialize() = 0;
};

Now when I try this, I get an error on my VS 2010 as: 'NonCopyable' : pure specifier or abstract override specifier only allowed on virtual function.

The compiler is thinking I am trying to create a non virtual function as pure. Can somebody please explain why? I can solve the above problem, by removing "delete" keyword.

You can see from this post that vs2010 does not support defaulted or deleted functions. For that matter neither will vc11
