WI: Ottoman Empire wins Battle of Vienna

In 1683 the Ottoman objective was to establish a puppet state in Royal Hungary, they also seem to have promised Vienna, but that seems to be a bit much.
The Habsburgs and the Holy League will still regroup, so at least keeping the HRE possessions would be possible.

The position of the king of France in the Catholic world wouldn't change much, even though the position of France as Catholic superpower goes unopposed, betraying a fellow Catholic ruler to an enemy of the Catholic and more general the Christian faith would be frowned upon.
OTOH I'm not even sure that France would really be happy, the Ottomans are useful to keep Austria busy in the east, so they can get gains in gthe west, but unopposed Ottomans would even start to concern France.

An Ottoman occupation of Vienna, could even be enough for a even more united German Front.
