Something is confusing - nobody measures bandwidth in GiB, and _almost_ nobody measures disk space in GiB. It's useful that they emphasized the unit, otherwise 99% of their (educated) customers would have assumed 10 (network/disk) Gigabytes was 1.0 * 10^9 bytes.
The only use of GiB that I seen commonly is in Memory. Every other use of "Giga" is the SI reference.
nobody measures bandwidth in GiB, sure, and next time I boost the bandwidth allocations, I might move those to GB, as that's what all the tools report. (I'd wait until I boost bandwidth allocations enough that it wasn't reducing the allocation)
However, there is much confusion with disk space in GiB vs GB. Hard drives are sold in GB, but most of the time, within an OS, space is most often reported in GiB like ram, so a 1tb drive is rather less than one TiB. I really do allocate disk space in GiB, not in GB, so I think it's appropriate to market it as such.
It would be interesting to do an audit of modern operating systems to see if this is true. OS X has reported in GB for a while now. I wonder what windows 7 does.
Regardless - I very much appreciate the use of GiB when that's what is meant. Classy.
