I think that it was a Mr Okin of Microsoft UK who made that claim really. But if I remember any probability theory at all from college, it's that the number of bugs left to find in a piece of software has absolutely nothing to do with the number of bugs that have already been found...

Fortunately, none of my important websites (such as my bank's, the BBC etc) require their customers to use proprietary Microsoft technologies to access them. So I'll just say "Nuts to I.E.!" and leave it at that.
