Re:Could they choose anything more confusing? (Score 1)

I'd like to add that the other side of this is, many people can't figure out the difference between a KiloByte, and a MegaByte let alone a Kilobyte and kibibyte or a MegaByte and a Mebibyte. These new notations will simply confuse the matter more for many many people.

I do understand the methodology, but I'll also say that different names would have been better. I mean they aren't even easy to pronounce...

My two cents worth anyway.
