I still maintain its easier to get your professor or colleagues to upgrade to Word 2007 than to convince them to learn LaTeX.

Weird. I haven't had a college professor who has to typeset mathematical equations who doesn't know LaTeX.

Perhaps he could have said "It's easier to get your students to upgrade to Word 2007 than to use LaTeX".

Which would be true. However, it's a much better idea to get them to use LaTeX.
