What is Windows Cardspace & is it safe?

I recently install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 on my PC which in turn updated to 3.5 but then i notice my Windows Update wanted to install something call "Windows CardSafe".

What is CardSafe exactly & is it the same like the annoying WGA?

Cardspace is basically a place where you
can securely store your personal information and virtual identies. Some programs take advantage of this and it's safe. It's included by default on 7 and Vista.

Thanks for the info. So should just install it since there's nothing to worry about & even if i don't want to use it?
