SEATTLE (AP) -- Microsoft Corp. is expanding a program to give government organizations access to some of its tightly guarded software blueprints amid growing competition from rivals who make such source code freely available.

Beginning Monday, Microsoft will offer more than 60 governments and international organizations the option of viewing the proprietary source code for the latest version of its ubiquitous Office software, including the Outlook e-mail program, Microsoft Word and Excel spreadsheet application.

The company already gives the same government groups the opportunity to view the source code for its dominant Windows operating system.

About 30 of them, including Russia, China, Norway and the United Kingdom, have agreed to sign the free license, said Jason Matusow, a director with Microsoft's "shared source" program.

The United States has viewed Windows source code before but is not participating in this program now, he said.

Symptoms of West Nile Virus
Updated!8/16/2004

Q.What are the symptoms of West Nile virus (WNV) infection?
A.Infection with WNV can be asymptomtic(no symptoms), or can lead toWest Nile fever or severe West Nile disease. It is estimated that about 20% of people who become infected with WNV will develop West Nile fever.

Symptoms include fever, headache, tiredness, and body aches, occasionally with a skin rash(on the trunk of the body) and swollen lymph glands. While the illness can be as short as a few days, even healthy people have reported being sick for several weeks.

The symptoms of severe disease (also called neuroinvasive disease), such as West Nile encephalitis or meningitis or West Nile poliomyelitis include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, and paralysis. It is estimated that approximately 1 in 150 persons infected with the West Nile virus will develop a more severe form of disease. Serious illness can occur in people of any age, however people over age 50 and some immunocompromised persons (for example, transplant patients) are at the highest risk for getting severely ill when infected with WNV.

Most people (about 4 out of 5) who are infected with West Nile virus will not develop any type of illness (an asymptomatic infection), however you cannot know ahead of time if you'll get sick or not when infected.
