QWERTY, Greek layout.
I have had the chance to work with a number of keyboards so far (not a big one) and I consider the most functional keyboard I have used the Swedish QWERTY one.

I'm not blond, but is there a specific German lay-out which differs from a Dutch QWERTY layout?

i don't exactly know what you mean, but in germany we have of course another layout than in the netherlands. for example we have the letters ä ö ü, which were not given in other languages..

here's a picture from a german layout, taken from wikipedia:

Are you /really/ sure languages such as for example Estonian, Finnish, Swedish or Turkish don't have any of those letters? :)
To be precise, in Finnish you can't even replace ö or ä with oe or ae like you can in German, because then those letters would be pronounced separately, producing sounds you might understand if I wrote it this way: a'e and o'e.
So, actually Finnish has ä and ö even more completely than you have them ;)
And the same applies to the Estonian ä and ü. (Their ö-work-alike, õ, doesn't exist in German).

BTW, I must agree the Finnish/Swedish layout is the best QWERTY-like layout out there - as long as you aren't a coder. I have yet to find another layout with a possibility to write such letters as ë, î or ñ without them really existing on the keyboard. If you are interested, the magic is in the key that contains ¨ (¨~^ key alone), ^(shift + ¨~^ key) and ~(AltGr + ¨~^ key). If I want to write ê, I just press shift+¨~^ and then e. The only sad thing is, even this layout is missing such important things as writing caron or the thing the pooped-pants c used for example in French has under itself.

oh, then it was my fault, sorry. i thought ä ö ü were in this form only in the egrman language given, but now i know it better than before!

No problem at all :)

And BTW, did you people know that slightly over four years ago a difference between Finnish and Swedish keyboard layouts appeared: The Swedish don't need the € sign, so it doesn't always have to be printed on the keyboard ;)
