The problem is that older versions of MSO support for ODF and PDF 
formats ranges from none to fair. These users can not often read ODF or 
PDF formats.

IMHO demanding others use any specific software is not the best way to 
gain acceptance even if the demand is not explicit. I accept that many 
will send files in MSO formats because that is what they have installed.

One issue to always remember is that many users are not very 
knowledgeable about computers and while something that is fairly easy 
for most of the people on this list may scare them; such as installing 
software, etc.
