RE[2]: Using the software of the enemy?

While I agree there are some manufacturers that don't release Linux drivers. For example, I typed PC Data Acquisition into the Google and my first result was a USB device with only Windows drivers.
Personally I think that if you are going to use Windows or need to use Windows for driver support, glue the USB ports shut, put it on a network physically not connected to any internet facing network, take out the DVD/CD Rom drive, and then assume it is compromised and leaking data.

How many (intentional or unintentional) "bugs" are left that allow remote control for computers in Iran?
This is the key question. Why would they use MS Windows for anything important?
I mean, use windows on your gaming rig, and custom Linux distribution on computers that control sensitive industrial/military equipment.
