On the other side of the fence Microsoft has repeatedly stated that they are not interested in supporting more of ISO C than they already do and want to focus on C++ (even going so far as to recommend the C++ compiler for developing C code). And apparently that "focus" on C++ hasn't even helped them overtake or even get even with their free (beer and freedom both) alternatives. That goes a long way to show in what state their compiler division is and so I wouldn't even bet on getting anything halfway decent should they commit to C11. That is not to say that there are highly competent people on that team, but there is simply to much to do and too many old mistakes to rectify first.
