It may not be such a bad move.  There have been at least three options
for when someone who has MS Office gets an ODF document:

1) install the ODF plugin
2) install OpenOffice.org or use the Portable Apps version
3) request the document as an MS Office file

Option 3 gets annoying quickly and doesn't always work.  Option 1 has
always been a kludge and with it becoming $90, option 2 just got
really attractive.
