Indeed, although it's maddening. Haven't MS/Adobe noticed that their flagship products are on piratebay already, so there's no point forcing DRM on legal users only?
Probably similar to the cut taken by Best Buy or Amazon.
But MS/Adobe also sell directly, and they deal directly with large institutional clients like big corporations and universities, cutting discounted deals, site licenses, etc.

There's also the 30% to Apple that is going to keep them out of the App Store.
What's the cut taken by Apple Stores? (brick'n'mortar and online one, both stocking MS/Adobe products)
