I don't know if this has been asked before, but I searched and found nothing. Quite simple really, will Windows 8 be finally fixing the incorrect filesize acronyms? Example: by changing GB to GiB.

The Windows 8 Developer Preview also uses GB, it's likely the final version will as well.

Windows uses "GB" instead of "GiB":
