Windows Explorer supports fractional bytes...

I was looking at the size of a folder... then I noticed something strange...



notice the .00 part of the size value. Can I put .5 of a byte on my MP3 player?

Gave me a bit of a chuckle at least.

Interesting! Does it show fractions only for the MP3 player properties or other folders etc too?

Nope, only the MP3 player "drive", I checked with my hard drives right after because I would have thought I would have seen it before.

I don't know the internal workings of how the devices interface with the system but it seems like somewhere down the line the value is being formatted with decimals.

I find it hard to believe any modern storage device uses fractions of a byte...
