Apple makes a percentage of that . . so it should help them too.

Microsoft’s new Office apps for iPad have moved into 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place on the Top Free apps list.

LoL: 30% of Free

To get the full editing and creation experience, you need an Office 365 subscription, which is $99 per year.

Well I looked online and Apple can get their 30% cut if the user subscribes via an in App purchase using iTunes:

Apple Gets Its 30% Take On Office 365 Subscriptions Microsoft Sells Through Office For iPad

The Office for iPad apps carry a single in-app purchase for Office 365 Home, worth $99.99, which means Apple gets just under $30 every time someone uses their iTunes account to sign up instead of going through the web. It’s only fair: presumably these subscribers wouldn’t have signed up if they hadn’t downloaded and wanted to use the iPad version of the Office software.
