RAR or ZIP?
by Aceviper Mon Aug 17, 2009 4:06 pm
I was just wondering which program people use more. I thought I might as well ask here.
Saying both is stupid. I have asked "which do you PREFER?"

How come nobody posted anything here?
This is a very good question and +1 rep point for you Ace! And I'm sure everybody has favorites.
I personally think WinRAR is better. It may be due to the fact that I
grew up using WinZip and the frikkin yellow windows made me so sick, so
goddamn sick that I almost threw up,... metaphorically of course.
Then came WinRAR. I don't remember where I got it from but I got it. It
was pre-cracked or something so I thought it was freeware(*sigh* n00b years). I
could get .zip and even .iso files too with WinRAR and it was super user-friendly.
Then I realized that WinRAR is just as much as a dick WinZip is.
Tey wunt jooor moonies! [They want your money!]
I tried 7zip .It's not bad. Not bad at all, really. It's even free. It's a must
have and please do get it from filehippo or someplace else. It's very
TINY too. Under 1MB.
But I still stick on to my WinRAR. There's just something aboutMary WinRAR.

WinRAR is all over the place now.
Even ISO files are becoming .rar these days. I've never come across a game iso that was in a .zip file.

The WinZIP +9 versions are able to play with WinRAR too. But I found WinRAR much more user-friendly! WAY MORE! Correct me if I'm wrong, but all Vistas are having trial version of WinRAR instead of WinZIP now, right?

People still do.
Even though mangas and graphic novles come mostly in '.CBR' (which is in essence a .RAR file) ever noticed the less popular but not quite dead '.CBZ' files? Those are actually WinZIP files.

CBZ are damn rare. Almost never had any. Except maybe the V for Vendetta one I had. I deleted it by mistake thinking I had made a backup.

I know, stupid me.
@ Kyo - I know nearly 5 to 6 people who recently bought Laptops, one my dad's, and they all have WinRAR and no WinZIP. Is that enough for you to believe?

I have never seen .CBz file, <.<
Oh!! well does it matter, I still think WinRar is the best.
