can you use uk software on us hardware?

if you purchase your cpu in u.s., can you purchase software from u.k. and get same results from computer program (e.g., word) as when purchased locally? does it really matter since language is english for both?

 

Worst problem that I could think of would be minor keyboard layout differences.

 

Shouldn't be any prob as far as I'm aware I DL apps from u.s. and I'm in Aust and haven't experienced any probs. Most apps nowadays offer so many options that the probably just build 1 English model and shipp it to all English speaking nations were you modify the local settings.

 

if you're saying it's safe to purchase international software (english), i thank you for your input!!! so, in other words, you would purchase and install on your pc?

 

right. i was thinking more in line with word, powerpoint, frontpage, dreamweaver, graphics programs, etc. no financials. so you still say it's ok for those types?

 

thanks to all for the reassurances!!!

 

your right about the spelling, now that i continue to think about all of this. for the programs i need, i.e., graphics, web design, presentations, etc., i should be ok with uk programs on my pc. good t know....
