Is the remaining European VMS userbase really so heavily weighted to a

Sweden does have VMS users. But so does other European countries. I
would expect UK to have more than Sweden. Bigger country.
That's what I thought as well.
Sweden does have VMS users left. And so does the UK.
I believe VMS is mostly gone from Denmark. Despite once
being very widely used .
Back in the 80's and early 90's VMS was used by several
big manufacturing companies, 2 out of 3 telcos, 1 oil company,
1 mid size bank, several parts of the government, lots
of educational institutions (out of 9 big higher education
institutions, then 3 were VMS shops, 3 used VMS some places
and only 3 did not use VMS).
