  Pleasure is different from/than/to happiness.

  It's different than (or from what) I expected.

  Of these, from is more common in formal registers than in informal ones, and more common in the U.S. than elsewhere; than is more common in the U.S. than elsewhere; and to is more common in the U.K., in Australia, and in New Zealand than in the U.S.  Style guides often advocate different from, by analogy with browser diversity rather than *differ than or *differ to, and web different than and different to.
