You're doing that pretty much regardless of what OS you use. Yes, I agree MS has issues, but legitimate malware has not yet been a line they have crossed.
If I created a program that took screenshots and keylogged everything that you did, and then put it in your computer, you'd rightly call it malware. But, when Microsoft does this, it isn't? They aren't exactly trustworthy (as you said, it has issues).
Companies keep generating this proliferation of xyz-ware names to distract from the fact that anything that works against the user's interest is fundamentally malware.

Malware, maybe not. But adware...?
