Version: WinRAR 3.62
Pros: The interface is clean, and the features are effective. It handles a lot of compression formats and is the original and defacto RAR creator/reader. The overall quality of the software along with the consistency is undeniable.
Cons: The interface is minimalistic and not too pretty. Plus why would I pay (or tolerate a nag screen) when I could get the functionality through a lot of good free compression tools like IZArc and QuickZip.

Version: WinRAR 3.62
Pros: i found i needed this as i was downloading from P2P and some of the files where winRAR. winzip and the standard one that comes with windows does not open winRAR ..
winRAR has better compression ratio to winzip and i think it is easer to use as well..
Cons: as you have to pay for this (witch by the way i didn"t i got it off my friend)i would only get this if you really need it..

Version: WinRAR 3.62
Pros: one of the few best file compression software you can possibly get. zip or archive most type of files to more than a dozen type of file several times smaller than the orginal size, unzip(extract)it at ease or make it self-extracting. with advanced feature like archive repairing, testing, encryption(decryption), file converting.
Cons: most of the advanced feature are disabled in after the free trail. and the nagging screen is one of the most reason some people switched to other softwares.

"Very Good Compression Software"
Pros: This product is a strong competitor to WinZip. It also supports its own RaR format. I've been using it for 3 years now, its stable and reliable and free.
Cons: User Interface is not very flash.
