I use WinRAR cause it is faster when uncompressing files as it supports multiple cores. I believe 7z still doesn't.
Also, all upgrades has been free so far - only had to pay once. This post has been edited by atomica: Oct 18 2008, 02:32 PM |

QUOTE(Dark Steno @ Oct 31 2008, 02:15 PM) Powerful as in what part? The only thing that I can think WinRAR being a powerful tool is that the software itself has better user-friendly functions (short cuts, tips & helps, etc) compared to 7zip. Though, the functions are simply similar to which both WinZip and 7zip have. Based on compression, 7zip is better than WinRAR. i believe winrar is multi-threaded, hence it will take advantage of multi-core processors and is faster than 7z when compressing and uncompressing |
