Just a fancier/exactier way of referring to MB (mega byte) as an Mo (mega octet), since on more exotic systems a byte can have a different number of bits that 8 (there are/were 7-bit-byte or 6-bit-byte systems...), while octet always means 8.

...if a programmer uses Mo, they are surely 100% French!

(All the other countries that have Mo on their language only have it used by non-IT people, programmers would always use MB. The word octet is in the English language too btw, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_(computing) , but obviously nobody uses it, it's just too French :P)
