"Their" is an important word here. Google's website nags you when you visit Google's website. Microsoft's browser nags you when you visit Google's website.

If it's your computer, you can just install an OS that doesn't do this. There are many alternatives.

You bought a house and now the bank demands you use Windows? What?

Assuming this is about "paying the bills" and using Windows at work; this is your employer/customer causing this issue for you by demanding Windows. Not Microsoft.
