Just because Windows says 1024kb = 1mb doesn't mean everyone else has to! To me it makes a lot more sense that 1000kb = 1mb being that a mega is 1000 kilos.

yeah but it is based on binary. and in binary, 1024kb = 1mb. it's just like time, it's based on 60, but it would make more sense to be based on 100 wouldn't it?

Notice I said "less in the OS", not "less in Windows". As was mentioned, it's based on binary...not "because Microsoft says so". This is one case where they actually follow the standard.
