7zip is better anyway I don't understand why people still use WinRar. Then again I don't understand why people still use Windows either.
Or WinZip. I work for a company that literally has the licenses for every computer they own. Why? 7-zip is free.
Winzip, i think, is owned by Corel I think. Almost as evil as Adobe. In India over here a lot of small businesses use it and it is unaffordable for them to get such creative suites. Corel constantly sends notices to the ones using cracked copies and force them to buy it for 3 years to avoid legal damages.
I'll never understated why they don't go open source.
