You may have heard that OSX 10.6 'finally' uses base-10 to read storage mediums, so a 4GB flash drive has 4GB of adre4ssable space, not the standard 3.74 (because of the use of Base-2, thus reading 1GB as 1024E+6).
I understand how this works mostly, I just want to know why so many people find this as a negative feature. To me this would be a good thing, as I would get 29GB back out of my 1 TB drive.
Can anyone help me out?
