It's a simple choice: those who shelled out the money for a Word license can either try to force the rest of the community to do the same by sending around Word documents, or spend themselves a little more by buying an Acrobat license and thus allow everybody to spend his/her money as (s)he sees fit.
Personally, I think Word should always be bundled with Acrobat, at least in our community.
