According to an article I read in a UK Mac mag a little while back,
which centred around the `Why does it take so piggin' long to change
`Color' to `Colour'?' question, there's more differences than that.
Apparently, because of the ridiculous delay between the release of the
US and all other versions of the MacOS, Apple has time to do plenty of
bug-fixes, which make their way into the foreign versions.

About what I'd expect really. btw, if you're handy with ResEdit, it's
not hard to change a US version of MacOS into something that looks like
a British version (if you've access to a similar British version of the
MacOS).
