As far as I can see, it does not say that.
The facts are that the JScript run-time engine will attempt to execute whatever is thrown at it. In most cases something that looks like valid Javascript will produce something like what was intended. Think of it like support for CSS: IE is always a little bit different, but it is still CSS. And at the end of the day, JScript, ECMAscript, ActionScript and JavaScript are more or less the same beast as far as this discussion is concerned. They are all based on objects, they all implement inheritance, and all of them can be used to write linear, procedural code if required.
