@jasper That post you are replying to refers to the application, not the format. What I'm saying is "Don't use WinRAR, use 7zip instead". There is a 7z format but I refer to the 7zip application, and it only applies for Windows.

@proxeus Suddenly you're struck by a terrible thought, people still buy WinZip licenses.

@SIGCINT Like... there is literaly 0 point in using Winzip. WinRAR? People still use RAR format even if they shouldnt. Thats ok. But winzip? Dude... Literally every OS now can handle zip compressed files. Like, its literally useless. Even WindowsME handles zip files.

@proxeus @SIGCINT Windows ME was the first Windows to handle ZIP files natively. And you know what? Microsoft PAID (and must still pay now) for the licence, when users did not and kept using an outdated shareware version of WinZip in the 1990s.But when you know that 7-Zip has a better compression ratio for Zip archives than WinZip itself…

@kvuilleumier Already read last summer, but I don’t use encryption for my compressed files.And he made a mistake: maybe ZIP files integration was licensed during the development of WinXP, but WinME (released one year before XP) was the very first to include it in its Explorer.@proxeus @SIGCINT

@TritTriton @SIGCINT @kvuilleumier True, it was already present in ME, but they are probably talking about something else.Meanwhile in the world of FOSS, every software that supports ZIP already supports AES since it was implemented, and support for better algorithms like gzip, lzma2, and some others, are supported by the kernel itself in every major Linux distribution.Windows has to go open source if it wants to keep having a meaning of existance in the long term.
