Default Re: WinZip vs WinRAR vs 7-Zip
The one fault of WinZip tho is its lack of multi-threading support... Still only uses one core on multi-core systems, and that can make a big difference if you're zipping/unzipping LARGE files! (at least the version I have, which I think is the newest, only uses one core, correct me if I'm wrong!!)

And yes... PKUnzip... back in the day... lol
