Comment 7 for bug 538165

It's not marketing spin. It's the international standard system of units that has been used for hard drives, networking speeds, processor speeds, DVDs, Blu-Ray, and many other things since the beginning of time. kilo- = 1,000, mega- = 1,000,000, ...

Also, it's more user-friendly and just makes a lot more sense than the Windows way of doing things, where a drive that holds 300,000,000,000 bytes is displayed as "279.4 GB" in one place and "286,102 MB" in another. It's nonsensical.

This is a good change.
