In fact, Windows uses KiB but calls it KB while Macintosh uses KB in newer OSs, but in older ones calls KIB KB.
And so to reduce confusion, Microsoft displays the values in bytes. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

I'll be dipped. I've been working with computers for a very long time and never, ever heard that definition. To me KB always meant 1024 bytes.
xB is decimal (base 10)
xiB is hexadecimal (base 16)
A good day then as I learned something new. Thanks | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Precision 370
