I have to say, I would expect even Microsoft to be able to handle Zip archives well within windows, yes it has the support for them, but it is ridiculous how bad it is, I downloaded something the earlier, in a zip archive, copied and pasted it out, was moving the files at 98 bytes/second. Even Dial-Up’s quicker than that. I would much rather they just got rid of it completely, rather than having the pathetic excuse for it that is currently there.
Just a bit of a rant from me
Thanks for the tip Peter, 7-Zip has replaced winrar and the windows default as my default compression client.
Ooh, 7-Zip, that Is something I’ve never heard of before, and I need support for reading RAR archives, but WinRAR doesn’t liek vista, or vice-versa, so I’ll be downloading it now.
Thanks
My favourite Windows compression tool is 7-Zip. It opens virtually everything and it’s a lot quicker than Windows’ built in zip handling too!
The built in zipper/unzipper is extremely slow, but its just the easiness and built-in-ness of it thats good. I use winrar mostly.
