good vs fine

[Winwin2011]

A: How are you?
B: Good.

I heard many native speakers say "good" in the above context. I was wondering if it is out of date to say "Fine" nowadays.
Thanks.

"Fine" would be fine.

"Good" as a reply to "How are you?" is a (relatively) recent arrival. Many of us still say "I'm well", "I'm fine" etc as a response.

I wouldn't use I'm good in a formal situation.
