WinZip/Windows

[Bakedgoods]

Morning all,

Just curious about if you bother using WinZip over the built in Windows capability, and why?

I understand WinZip being used for encrypting files, but other than that could you justify the cost?

people still use winzip?

most people use 3rd party archivers that can open more than just zip files. .7z and .rar files are pretty common place. so that's why i use 7-zip as it can open pretty much anything. winrar can also but it costs money.

I use Winrar, you only need a license if you are wanting to compress.

7-Zip all the way. I cant believe wnzip is still in business. Can it do something that 7-zip cannot?
