Publisher's description of WinZip 9.0 SR-1
From WinZip Computing:WinZip is the original and most popular of all Windows ZIP file utilities. Wizard/Classic interfaces accommodate both first-time and experienced users. With WinZip you can quickly and easily compress and decompress files, folders, and entire folder trees to save storage space and reduce e-mail-transmission time, as well as encrypt and decrypt your sensitive documents. Features include tight integration with Windows Explorer, support for most Internet file formats, and one-click zipping and e-mail.
Editor's note: WinZip is now bundled with Google Toolbar and Google Desktop Search. Installation of these components is optional.
Editor's review of WinZip 9.0 SR-1
stars
- "King of compression"
- Version reviewed: WinZip 9.0 SR-1
Although this is the most compatible version to date, WinZip still relies on ZIP alone to archive your files. We would have liked to see support for RAR, ISO, and ACE archives. Overall, however, WinZip is a fantastic program, and the new features improve on what it does best. Whether you're an old pro or a new user, this is a must-have upgrade.

Version: WinZip 9.0 SR-1
"Not worth it. If you want a compressing tool, get winace or WinRAR"
Pros: -It zips faster than the Windows zipper
Cons: -Is not worth the money. For zipping, Windows' zipper is good enough
-It only supports .zip files. Get WinRAR or Winace. They support many more formats including the .rar format which is now being used more and more.
-slower than WinRAR and Winace

"=-=-=-=-=--=-=-How did I live without this?..are you still the old me(no way)"
Pros: Make your files MUCH SMALLER.
This will easy you life like I did my, I am sure you will love it as I do.
This makes files more compatible and easy to send and store, send pictures even small videos by compressing it with WinZip. It is not that expansive but it is worth it believe me. This is essential for you and your files.
Unzips and zips files fast and easy, can you move your mouse around your mouse pad?..than you can use this.
This is so easy to use and it is very affective.
I bought it and use it nearly everyday; you need this like the air you are breathing now.
No other compressor will not do what this dose, look at the downloads people LOVE IT at the moment. 144,734,051 downloads !!!!!!!!!!!! That?s crazy
Most zipped files are compatible with WinZip it could be used for backups of your hard drive and that stick it on a cd your work will be safe.
Download it and get it, it is worth it, that?s what around 144,734,051 people think so.
I am not making a comitial for this, I am just trying to help you how someone helped me.
So pass the word along if you like this software.
Cons: are you kidding me...there is none

Version: WinZip 9.0 SR-1
Pros: It does what it's suppose to and it does it well. The addition AES encryption is nice considering previous password protection for zip files had several flaws.
Cons: There are free utilities that can do exactly the same thing. I personaly use IZArc, it support at least fourty different formats including the popular ones like zip, rar, ace, tar, gz, 7zip, bzip, and iso. In short Winzip is nothing special, at least nothing that warrents purchasing it.
