bait-and-switch marketing.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Website made it impossible to download the freeware version of the program without also downloading the upgrade, purchasable version as well. That's called bait-and-switch marketing, and it's quite unscrupulous and annoying. Shan't be using this product.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Bloatware that can't even accomplish the one purpose for which you might be tempted to download it - extracting .SIT files. The context menu shell extension that allows you to right click on a .SIT file and expand merely creates a folder with a bunch of 0kb files corresponding to the ones that are in the archive. How useful! Mind you, the files themselves are not extracted. Just their filenames.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br /><p>If you have an older version of stuffit expander installed, dont bother with this less than stellar update. I tried the stuffit standard trial (version 7) almost 2 years ago when I downloaded the FREE stuffit expander, and then uninstalled it. All I wanted then, and all I want now, is "stuffit expander." Instead, I have to download another trial version I dont need or want, and it nukes my old expander. Now, when I double click a .ZIP or .SIT file that formerly just "expanded" for me - no fuss, no muss - I get a program that launches, tells me I have been using it for two years without paying, and promptly quits. No kidding! I uninstalled stuffit 7 a long time ago, but the preferences apparently hang around like leeches. From the download form page I thought I was getting "stuffit expander" as a "part of the download", but instead I get a "component" that is part of a non-functioning software that I don't want, but can't uninstall since I then lose any ability to expand files at all.</p> <p>The developer blurb claims "What you don't want are nagging dialogs slowing you down" but neglects to tell you that you are getting a time limited trial to Standard or Deluxe, and that when it expires it becomes useless to you. The entire blurb points out features only available in STUFFIT DELUXE. Is it too much to ask that the application "stuffit expander" be made available for download once again as a <b>simple, reliable STAND ALONE</b> program?</p>
Good Name !!!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />STUFFIT is a very apt name for this piece of #*@!^. I installed it , tried it and decided to stay with my original Winzip. I tried to uninstall it but was not allowed. Finally managed to do so but it won't remove from my add/remove list now and appears to have stuffed several other registry entries as well. STAY AWAY !!!!
