Umm... so? I wouldn't care if I were English, and I doubt any English people do.
Slightly worried that "US english" seems to be the norm on windows, the internet etc, but overal im not losing any sleep over it.
And it's jolly good thing too, imagine a Cockney Windows version...

Wow I didn't know that. I don't think it bothers them too much. At least is shouldn't. I still think that the proper British accent is the coolest.
Voted : Not Worried

Hardly. Compare the American Spanish/Mexican population to the anglo-muslim/indian.
Doesnt begin to compare.
no I will not, you get half a million mexican immigrants per year, the UKs muslim population is about 2.7%.
There is no way we will be speaking spanish you ideots. The US population is almost 3 times that of mexico. If they dumped there whole country into us there still be an english majority. Plus if the Mexican economy improves the immigration will slow drastically. use your heads people.
 Long live en-GB! I am stuck in the past (despite being only 18) and still use Sulphur even though it's internationally accepted to be Sulfur.
I am not worried as such (well ok I am) but it seriously bugs me when I see "color" and "diaper" and "cookie" (N.B. not the computer term). For the Americans, imagine if you saw "colour", "nappy", "biscuit" and others everywhere. Nothing to really get annoyed about but irritating none the less.
I am a big advocate for computer programs having an en-GB dictionary.
Don't worry. That won't last long the way we're going. 
Um_Yeah, that was incredibly ignorant.
Anyway, I'm not hugely bothered, but I think the rest of the world needs to learn English more. Makes the world an easier place,really.
By the way, those statistics are for countries that speak English as a first language. There are many more who speak it as a second language after their native tongue.
Infidellic computers do have an english great britian language setting. If you knew how to use computers that is.
Yes i have mine set to GB English but it is still in American English, people who make the software should know the difference.
