Finally colour will have a u.

Its should not be called English UK, it should be called English, all other variants should have their country or variant name next to English.
I was always amazed that windows CE had proper english, but we never had it for NT. Hell they even found time to make a Welsh one!?

English is English...there is no such thing as British English, dammit!
Perhaps I just haven't noticed any US spellings, but I have been living under the misapprehension that Windows already used British English.
UK English makes little difference to those of us who program. You still need to use color all the time. To be honest I find it pretty easy to switch between Queen's English and US English that I tend to do it without thinking.
Hear-hear - actually I thought that Australia and New Zealand used "proper" (i.e. ours!) spellings rather than the US variants.
It really annoyed me the other day when I was installing some software and the language choices were "English" and "English (British)".
Still think that "English" in that case should have been "English (US)" and our version is "English".
If UK English gets a set of settings, does this mean that Outlook and Word won't spontaneously decide to switch to US English at a whim - the other day Outlook did that in the middle of a sentence!
Windows8 is shaping up nicely imho...

Multilingual versions have an exclaimation mark to emphasis the finger licking goodness(KFC tm) of Windows 8 to non-US users.
Does take the mick and pees me off when I install a program and it gives the language options, English(US), English(Some random country)... seems to ignore the fact that English is like you know not American, id like the English or English(UK) at least... I like how we have never pushed this and its laughable that we invented the complete computer, why did we have US coding
UK edition leaked.
No Engrish option?
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
When quite a lot of free software offers an English option, it does annoy me that MS seems to think they're so alike they don't need two versions. A pet hate is typing something correctly, for instance 'colour', and having the program telling you it's wrong...
Agreed it should be English and English (US) rather than the occasional patronising English (British) offering but I'd settle for the latter over having none...
