winrar is good

I've recently switched to 7zip because it is free and consume less memory. The downside is only that its icons are extremely ugly, i'll have to manually change the icons for .rar, .zip, .iso, and .7z to prevent myself from uninstalling it immediately after seeing all those ugly Win 98 style icons sitting all around my laptop.

Being unable to compress files in .rar format isn't a problem for me at all.

Well I prefer to use winrar as while it has the advantage of reading every compression method out there, my image viewer supports reading data from .rar compilation, thus I can save quite a lot of space by compressing my image files. While 7z has better compression ratio, no image viewer can directly read images from it's archive, thus I don't really have any use for it.

I use Winrar. Admittedly its program icon can be ugly as a goatse fug, but thankfully XPize took care of that.
