I actually think this is a good change so companies can't cheat new people because pretty soon they're going to say they got a terabyte harddrive for sale and with this confusion they're obviously going to choose the one that will trick people in to thinking they have a bigger harddrive capacity than they really do and give bigger and bigger numbers but as the numbers get bigger the difference between terabyte and tebibyte get bigger and people WILL notice a lot of space "missing"..
