It will continue to exist for a long while in the minds of many
people. That's just the way things are - you never get anywhere near 100%
of the people supporting you. The question is whether in Portugal, you
feel that going with a non-Microsoft solution means a complete up-hill
battle or not.
I can tell you that in general, companies in Europe appears to be more open
to open-source solutions much more than ones in the US. Of course, Europe
is comprised of lots of different countries, and each country has lots of
different companies, so your mileage may vary.
