It does switch - I think it reads your browser version string, and so it suggests the OS and Langugae you're browsing in.
And Service Pack 2 is free, except for the huge download and the problems if you install it at the wrong time...

EDIT: The Secunia Article on this exploit. They only rate it as "moderately critical", presumably because you need Hide Extensions for Known File Types on for it to work. IE's full Secunia vulnerability report is "Extremely Critical", because of the IFRAME buffer overflow attack (which has a working exploit has been published on public mailing lists.), which Secunia can only recommend to "Use another product".
