Or, of course, they've had a real brain fart, and if you proceed it'll
try to install XP-SP2 pre-release version on your Windows 7 machine!

It's just a EULA. We don't know whether it's hurting
anything or not (in terms of version selection).

If there was an actual screwup, the update would fail.
The update would do a dependency check. If it was a
WinXP scanner, it would check for WinXP first and
find it was running on Windows 7. The update history
would then show it failed to install.
