Massachusetts Dumps MS Office
Another digged link...
Apparently, Massachusetts has dumped MS Office and their proprietary file formats in favor of open formats, PDF and OpenOffice. I think this is a smart move, since you want papers to be viewable by the widest audience. Think about it - how often has it happened that you wanted to send someone a Word document (or some other format) only to find out that they can't open it because they have something like Works (which is fairly common on preinstalled desktop machines).
