They will. It will be an integral part
of the kernel and thus unremoveable. It will be part of the OS.

Norton's used to sell defragers. Now it's part of the OS. Antivirus will be as well. Just like XP's firewall. Microsoft simply needs to add controll for outgoing traffic and other firewall makers will be doomed.

Microsoft wants total control of your PC!
