Been using 7zip for over a decade. Free open source software is awesome. Back in the day I had the bootleg serial number for WinZip memorized because everyone at my school used floppies and winzip to share large things like games and videos 🤓

Someone please educate me…..Why would I want a full license or purchase a license when it's free? I have the free version and had a file in rar and it worked great. TIA

To support the brilliant company who kept it free, i used free but now i can afford so i am going to buy just to support though i now rarely use it

Tech people who know more than I do : is there a reason why Windows doesn't use the tar ans tar.gz sort of thing that Linux uses? I could ask ChatGPT but I want a human to give me like a answer from their experience with compression software

They don't care, they keygen from ages ago still works.

There are quite a few MacOS apps that are free but cost money in the app store yet people still buy them.
why is there a dash between win and rar?

i think they couldnt obtain an official name sine the product invented. they had to use rarlab. then win-rar. then when winrar was available for cheap they took over

Historically it's not user friendly in a Windows environment where command line isn't used. MS never included wide support for archive files until WinXP.

I rarely need a 3rd party compression utility, but I've used 7-zip when needed for a very long time, and I always have it installed for those random times I need it.

That's why 7zip is always one of the first apps I install on windows machines, with context menus enabled so I can tarball stuff with a couple of clicks. The built-in send to .zip option in right-click menu is decent on Windows but it's compressed so not the same thing.

Open source and free are totally different things. People like you is why open source projects get abandoned. Users expecting lifetime feature updates, polished UI, support for free

The very latest windows 11 file explorer supports RAR and 7z in addition to ZIP, but not all the advanced features of those and other formats.

WinRAR the goat for letting everyone fully use the program even though it technically is the trial version. I use it multiple times a week, i should actually support them, and maybe also VLC.

I remember using a keygen that I got from someone in a warez chat room on AOL to get a working serial for WinZip. Good times.
