Microsoft could NEVER withdraw from Europe. That would be an unbelievably stupid move, because they would lose their monopoly. If 450 million Europeans were forced to use a Mac or Linux, then tens of thousands of software applications and games for these operating systems would be created or ported from Windows.
Thereafter switching to the Mac or Linux would become a much more viable option for everyone else (Americans, Asians etc.).
