Cardspace is something to do with Framework 3.0 but what?

I have had an icon for Windows Cardspace (supposedly something to do with
Framework 3.0) in my XP Control Panel (SP2 and fully updated including the
February Cardspace update) since installing Framework 3.0. Whenever I click
on the icon, Windows Cardspace tries to open and then irretrievably crashes
my PC. I have therefore never experienced what it actually does. Having
searched on the Microsoft website there is almost nothing about it. I am
bound to ask if I actually need it at all. Has anyone else been able to open
it and if so, what does it do?

Many thanks for that. Mind you it is not much use for me if it crashes my PC
every time I try to access it!
