Windows XP SP2 was finalized on August 6, 2004
After the RTM date OEMs have 90 days to ship SP2 pre-installed on their XP machines. Within those 90 days they're required to ship the XP SP2 update CD with machines. CDs will be made available at support outlets (PC World Support) and on frontpage magazine covers. Microsoft are aiming to make sure everyone gets this update and will be spending just as much time & money promoting it as developing it.

Fall of 2004. Different companies started shipping at different dates. So there is no one day. If the PC was brought in 2005 or beyond, it should have SP2 on it. However, the XP CD that shipped with the PC may not, so if you were to restore from the CD, it may not reinstall SP2.
