Well Radoslaw,

As I said the original convention for disk was 1000 bytes = 1KByte.

M$ did not comply with that convention when they decided to show disk 
usage in binary format 1024bytes=1KByte.

Only memory (not disk) was specified in binary (1024) convention.

And then other groups mixed 1000 and 1024 together when they reported 
usage.
