I have a copy of RC1 Beta and they did.

Following is a quote fromt he release documentation.

"
What existing functionality is changing in Service Pack 2 for Windows XP?
Alerter and Messenger Services Disabled
Detailed description
In previous versions of Windows, the Messenger service is set to start
automatically and the Alerter service is set to manual start. In Service
Pack 2 for Windows XP, both of these services are set to Disabled. No other
changes are made to these services.
