    Microsoft is said to be in the making of a FREE Anti Virus program for windows based computers. Code name "Moro", the free anti virus program will be availible sometime next year. I read this info in the Mcleans Magazine. :p

    I think it will only come with windows 7. I know they are including windows steady state right into the os as well.

    I don't think so. According to softpedia, it will come with Vista, Windows 7 and even XP SP3. You have to keep in mind that they're killing off OneCare so it has to be replaced with something.
