"When a government mandates a certain type of software for no other reason than to satisfy the political interests of a few it is a recipe for chaos..."
Thankfully, Massachusetts is moving away from this (forcing people to use Microsoft Office) and into a methodology of open standards. You seem to have mixed up document formats with applications that create those formats, and you have accused the users of open formats of the misbehavior that is in fact being carried out by Microsoft. I assume your employer encourages this kind of FUD...
"And please don't mention costs when talking about anything in 'Taxachusetts'."
What is the purpose of this statement? Massachusetts taxes didn't ever seem that high to me, particularly when considering the services provided in exchange. Have you lived there? Do you have any concrete examples to back up your empty statement? Are you as dumb as you sound, or just pretending?
