Comment on Why is 1 GB equal to 10^9 bytes instead of 2^30?parent

Comments

I don't think that giving the users something that _is_ wrong is a better solution... Why not switching to GiB? Power users would understand, and others wouldn't even notice!

Why not switch to actual GB like the OS X did. I'm not sure why anybody prefers GiB.

Either way, as long as GB = 10^9, and GiB = 2^30
