No, it is a *hotfix* released AFTER SP-2. Hence it is NOT part of SP-2.
SP-2 was a *minimum* service pack level for application of this hotfix.

Since the hotfix was released 14 months *after* the release of SP-2, just
how could the hotfix have possibly been included in SP-2? It wasn't.
However, since the hotfix existed *before* the release of SP-3, it got
included in SP-3.

Hotfix 906569 was *not* included in SP-2.
Hotfix 906569 *was* included in SP-3.
See the above links to see the list of fixes included in SP-2 and SP-3.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_xp#Service_Pack_2 for information
on the 3 versions of SP-2. None of them had the hotfix although the 2b and
2c versions were released after availability of the hotfix. The 2b and 2c
versions of SP-2 were *not* to include any hotfixes available after the
release of SP-2 but to address different issues.
