I'm sorry, but no. The bug in MSIE, that prevented the correct
processing of cert path restraints and which led to easy MITM
attacks, has been fixed for some time now.  Consulting browser
statistics sites will show that the MSIE update in question,
fueled by the need for other security updates, is making
good progress.
Heu? I am talking about HTTPS (1) vs HTTP (2). I don't see how the MSIE 
bug has any effect on this.
