Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage:
We have about 80 commentators in our files who discourse on the
propriety of _different than_ or _different to_. The amount of
comment--thousands and thousands of words--might lead you to
believe that there is a very complicated or subtle problem here,
but there is not. These three phrases can be very simply explained:
_different from_ is the most common and is standard in both British
and American usage; _different than_ is standard in American and
British usage, especially when a clause follows _than_, but is
more frequent in American; _different to_ is standard in British
usage but rare in American usage.
