Installing software without the user's permission isn't right, but there's
nothing to do about that now if CS5 boxes are already in stores (or otherwise
in people's hands).
Adobe says they're “working to mitigate the problem”:

For one thing, lawyers cost money. More importantly, we can't rightly sue them
for doing what our license explicitly allows them to do.
