Yea, bad bad windows for following standards.

The SI prefixes are well established before 1998 and the cause for this brainmelt.

Windows (at least up to 8) does not follow the SI standard. It uses KB, MB, GB but converts using 1024. Which has funny consequences, like 999MB being smaller 0.94GB.

Well to be fair “GB” could refer to either prefix.
