Microsoft and Adobe still benefit from pirated proprietary software, just not as much as software paid for at the full price, and obtained legally.

It's because, even the pirated software, is still promoting the MS operating systems, encouraging the use of it's file formats and increasing Windows share of the desktop. Also pirated software/web development applications, like Visual Studio and Adobe Dreamweaver, still help promote MS and Adobe development systems. Its a very clever win-win for Microsoft and Adobe.
