re:<Intel EU probe> One thing I noticed is that Germany specifically said that putting any MHz requirements into specifications was just as illegal as specifying Intel processors, but I don't remember hearing that from other EU countries. Or was the German guy an EU representative"


The Germans simply repeated the EU Commission's directive. The directive specified that the name Intel and clock speeds should be removed from procurement specifications. France had already directed this as had some Scandanavian countries. The directives apply equally to all 25 EU countries.
