SL Binary vs. Base 10 disk space algorithm revisited

[maflynn]

So now that SL has been out for a while and 10.6.2 has been released, I'd like to revisit the the base 10 vs. binary issue and see people's opinion of this now.

My opinion: At first I didn't care, but as time went on and I started using various applications that provided information on hard drive space (omnidisksweeper, idisk,etc) I found it rather confusing and aggravating, so much so, I used that script file that was provided here

I also use other OSs that rightly use binary to computer free disk space and when mounting my HFS+ drives, the free space reported is different enough to bug me.

What's your opinion on this whole matter

I'm with you, maflynn. I use Windows and Linux regularly, in addition to SL, and it's confusing when different OSes think the same file is two different sizes.
