What's a good threadsafe singleton generic template pattern in C#

Question

I have the following C# singleton pattern, is there any way of improving it?

    public class Singleton<T> where T : class, new()
    {

        private static object _syncobj = new object();
        private static volatile T _instance = null;
        public static T Instance
        {
            get
            {
                if (_instance == null)
                {
                    lock (_syncobj)
                    {
                        if (_instance == null)
                        {
                            _instance = new T();
                        }
                    }
                }
                return _instance;
            }
        }

        public Singleton()
        { }

    }

Preferred usage example:

class Foo : Singleton<Foo> 
{
}

According to Jon Skeet in Implementing the Singleton Pattern in C# the code you posted is actually considered as bad code, because it appears broken when checked against the ECMA CLI standard.

Also watch out: everytime you instantiate your object with a new type of T, it becomes another instance; it doesn't get reflected in your original singleton.
