Mainly for compatibility reasons. If Windows does it that way, so would do Windows apps and drivers, depending on it. If we change this default behaviour, even with introducing some kind of aliases for the previous one, we risk breakage, that would could be hard to determine/locate.

#define _1MB (1024 * _1KB)
