I think its integral to netframework so cannot be uninstalled separately

Cardspace can be disabled Start > Run > services.msc > Windows CardSpace > Properties > Startup type: Disabled.

Noticed this in windows 7. It just looks like bloatware. At least it is not as obtrusive as Windows Live For Games. :(

Curiously, mine is disabled and I don't remember doing that.
