Update: as of today, all of the main Apple sites in Europe (checked UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Norway, Netherlands, Sweden) are showing the MacPro as "currently unavailable". No indication whatsoever as to what to expect next.
No, not old news, read what I wrote. Update = developing news.
The entire MacPro line was taken out of the stores in the EU today, well ahead of the March 1 date which was initially reported. Things are happening quickly now. It will be interesting to see where and how fast the story continues.
