Languages just got a whole lot easier for users in Windows 8! English (United Kingdom) will also now be a display language and will let us have "colour" instead of "color".
---------------------We are proud to announce the addition of English for the United Kingdom to the list of Windows display languages. We admit that this is something we should have done a long time ago. Windows users in the UK have gotten by with the US English version of Windows, and while we Americans knew this was not their favourite, that is clearly no defence. We believe that this version of Windows will also be widely used in India, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland and many other places.
We are releasing English for the United Kingdom as a standalone language. Standalone languages contain all the user interface components needed to be independent versions of Windows. Standalone languages can be used by OEMs to image a PC, or can be purchased as boxed software.
It also looks like SkyDrive will be built into the operating system, it's a bit like DropBox but Microsoft's own:
