WinZip is more modern i think, but that doensn't matter, cus WinRar kan open more files, i would definitely choose that one, but of course you have to choose yourself.....

I prefer using Winrar since it can open as well the winzip compressed files. i even made winrar the default program to open those zip files. But there are times when winzip is very useful, like when I am uploading compressed files at my Trap 17 webhost account. I tried uploading Rar file but Cpanel can uncomppressed them, this is the time when I go to the Winzip.

I use WinRAR because more people use it. I've downloaded a bunch of files that needed WinRAR to open, and I found that WinZip will not open it. Plus, WinRAR is more universal because it can open not only .rar and .zip but also .ace and so much more.

What I personal think that winrar is better than winzip because winrar has the ability to open most of the compressed files...and everyone knows that RAR is getting popular and most people give downloads mostly in RAR files only.
now dooga has mentioned about 7z and says that 50 mb can be compressed till 5 mb....if that is true than I am sure that this 7z extension..i mean compression utility will also become popular very fast....but the makers of it will have to take right steps in this case. Till the time I get more reviews about this 7z thingy...i am sticking with winrar because not only its light on memory..it has a nice and simple interface as well....it just works like explorer and everyone of use familiar with explorer.

Neither of them. I also use Power Archiver. But I think Winrar has better compatibility than Winzip (I´m not sure, though).

I've used WinRAR for a long time, and I've been satisfied with it. It does open more file types thatn Winzip, as stated.

Hello
I think Winrar better that winzip. ALso my choise is SFX because its not required that another PC have the Winrar/WinZIp . And many place i unable to find winrar software so this type of situation SFX or Winzip is good. |
