they can't.
1. They make to much money there
2. If they do then Linux gets a really big boost for the pc. In the long run that will sink Windows. For Google to leave the EU. Will mean that the leave one of the largest markets behind.
Pretty soon China will cut Google off. Or they have to censor there data so much they will get into problems with the USA government. This already starts to happen. As it stands now I think in the near future both China and Russia. are lost causes for both companies. Both want to get the companies out. China is getting along well without Microsoft more and more. Same as with Google. This leaves the EU and North America as their biggest moneymakers, in the long run. Till Africa and India become wealthier what will take decades to happen.

There are some good versions out for the novice to use. At this moment it has no change to get big. But if over 300m people are forced to use it, it will get better fast Google and a few others will see to do that. For them, that is the way to undercut Microsoft. Then they can promote their own office products for Linux. No tech company can lose an advanced market the size of the EU. Because that is what the competitions need to win.
Yeah I think that's possible to happen, eventually

Linux? nah. it's been around for more than 30 years and despite being free and having tons of distributions, they still don't have any meaningful market share among desktop users.
see they are free and Windows 10 has its problems, still Linux is not a good idea.
also if Microsoft stops giving service to Europeans, all those Europeans won't just become experts in Linux overnight to be able to use Linux.
Linux has lots of hardware and software problems.
so it's not like Linux is waiting on the door for Microsoft to leave EU so they come in.
