Not that I mean to toot horns - WinRar is not, after all, 'free software'.Īnd now WinZip is moving away from standards? I don't think they'll be around much longer. $49 for the self-extracter module? WinRar comes with a FAR superior self-extraction utility, for a fraction of the cost. Second of all, I would never want to see a. zip? First of all, I can do that already, without special add-ons.

$20 just to simplify sending attachments as.

Third, they've split many of the components of winzip (Command line, Self-extracter, and Outlook add-on), and are charging additional fees for many of the components that WERE standard. More money for them, if ignorant people continue to use their sub-standard program. Second, note that they are splitting their product into two lines: Personal and Professional. If a person bought a license in the past (poor fools!), they may be expected to chuck out a few more bucks just to continue to have the rare privelage of running and outdated program. Even then, it only assures you of upgrades for a time-delimitted period. WinZip 10 is a revolution in the way WinZip developers are handling their product.įirst of all, note that purchasing a license for winzip no longer guarantees you a liscense for later versions, unless you chuck out extra cash in advance.
