We here at Liberty University were one of the early Forefront customers. One of our techs wrote a standalone installer.

 We will likely transition the students to the free Microsoft Security Essentials.

Is this "absolutely true" or just a preferred deployment scheme?

I ask because I recall  hearing the same things about Forefront (the current/old one) until some "standalone installers" surfaced.  The only dependencies after that point are the periodic updates (hooked through windowsupdate/microsoftupdate).
