Windows does 1024 but (in my view) this conflicts with the fact most Windows users think it is 1000. You'd have to be pretty technically inclined to know about the 1024 thing. Just my 2 cents.

PS: There is a good chance Microsoft didn't move from 1024 to 1000 because of backwards compatibility concerns, which is far more reasonable for an operating system than a webapp framework :) Back in 1995 when Win95 came out, 1024 was still the standard.

what does windows report?  1024 or 1000?
it would be pretty silly to be inconsistent with the world's most popular platform's filesystem...

This was a request from Gili.

"We should use 1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes as mention here:

This standard has been around since at least 1998 and I
personally believe most people think in terms of this
standard anyway (i.e. decimal, not binary system)."

Based on the answers I have seen so far, we agree on this change. It
that correct? What are your votes?
