After less than a year since the initial release, in October 2005, the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) 1.0 Beta is out. It's big, really big. There are no less than 9 namespaces and plans for future expansion. Contact your local government contractor, with resume in hand, and you may be one of the lucky developers to implement NIEM-capable software."

It's big, really big... bloatware by __aaclcg7560 · 2006-07-17 09:43 · Score: 0, Troll

Is the government following the Microsoft model of bloatware or it was it Microsoft following the government's model of bloatware. I keep getting the two mixed. There should only be one standard form of bloatware. I wouldn't be surprised if some OSS twits are starting their own bloatware.
