This is true for any OS since windows XP. There are a lot of services that transact in the background. If you install a program to show you port connectivity and traffic you'll see the OS is not the worst culprit. Adobe is right up there too but the sneakiest by far is google. Even if you uninstall chrome and clean your registry they keep installing back every time you go do a search on google.com and you can see ports being access outwards every minute or so to a server owned by google somewhere.
