Yes, I was considering that as an option. As we are just beginning to move
towards replacing our XP SP3 fleet of machines with Vista, I'd like to
develop a plan to idealling 'uninstall' Windows Defender before installing
the Forefront Client. That would seem to be the cleanest solution. I suppose
I could set the service to Disabled or create a GPO to disable it but removal
would work the best for us in our environment.

You can disable it (in Administrative Services) but I don't believe
that you can uninstall it in Vista. In XP, yes, but not in Vista.
