Seems like quite a bit has changed in the last 14 years.

from 2002 article:
"Mice and men share about 97.5 per cent of their working DNA, just one per cent less than chimps and humans." Again, results depend on exactly what & how you measure.
This site from 2009 says:
- 75% of mouse genes have equivalents in humans (source),
- 90% of the mouse genome could be lined up with a region on the human genome (source)
- 99% of mouse genes turn out to have analogues in humans (source)

I was thinking... when did I post this article and then I saw the year. There are a few old names in this thread. Thanks for the memories!
