: "Differences with" retrieves 1.59 million Google links, suggesting that it is common usage, Philip.  But I'm open to improvements.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 10:41, 27 May 2007 (EDT)

::I probably have my Google settings differently (e.g. only English pages returned).  I get 1.25 million hits for "differences with", 1.24 million hits for "differences from", and 1.21 million hits for "differences to".  At this level, this indicates that all are roughly equally used.  The next step would be to try and determine if they are being used in the same context.  For example, I think "differences with" might tend to be used for something that has changed, so you are talking about "difference with" the product compared to the older version, for example.  But I'm not sure on this.  [[User:Philip J.
