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. ** Tags added: units-policy -- Lucid reads file size wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538165 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
