AHC/WI: Ottomans hold on to Hungary like the Balkans

What if the Ottomans managed to hold on to its conquered Hungarian territories just as long as they held the Balkans? How can this affect the empire and her European neighbors? And what happens to the remains of the former Hungarian Kingdom?
 
One thing I could come to think of is that the Habsburg would focus their interests more on Germany.
 
The only way for this to be accomplished is to disrupt the Habsburg claim to the Hungarian throne. Possibly having them die out of losing Bohemia, but losing the Imperial Election is also important. They need to be neutered so that the Ottomans may establish their presence in the region for a sense of permanence. It is also ethnically divided and if the Ottomans do to the local nobility what they did in the Balkans, you can see a muslim Hungarian elite forming over time. However, come the rise of nationalism, Hungary will go the way of Greece, Serbia, Romania, and the like.
