There was a reader report on Macintouch last Saturday:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/iwork09/index.html#d17jan2009
Briefly, it was claimed that 95% at NASA produced tech reports using
Word/MathType, and that many of the less than 5% written in TeX could
not be processed in a timely way because of macro problems. I would
guess that the real problem was that NASA was not providing proper
guidelines for TeX use, and most likely lacked TeXpertize in their
Technical Publications office.
