Any computer on which software can be installed could theoretically have
BAD
software installed.
What major operating systems are configured by default to install
software from distant servers unknown to a computer system's owners?
Debian Linux does. Oh, wait, you said "major OSes". Nevermind!
Apparently ASUS Display Drivers for Windows XP! I traced an FTP session
from my computer to Taiwan at the precise time I was installing those drivers.
(This was a freshly-installed Windows XP behind both a hardware and software
firewall, in case you think the system was compromised.)
