Sucks to be you. Kalamazoo. Your rhyme.

AFAIK the microcode doesn't really care about American vs. British spellings. Also, a good rule of thumb about which spelling to use: if you are writing about US subjects, use US English. If you are writing about British subjects, use UK English. In general, use the most relevant spelling rules. (This is what I call "Wikipedia English".) -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-)
