At least in my corner of the EU woods, Microsoft is so ingrained in government processes (at all levels) that it's nigh impossible to remove.
It would take an EU directive pushing "open source or EU sourced" down our govt's collective throats, and a few decades, to actually implement.
Instead I suspect it'll lead to many loud initiatives, a few €B to the usual players, and a quiet promise to Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle and others to not to worry.
