But limitations of the format made alternatives like RAR a popular choice, even though it required extra software, like the commercial WinRAR (whose 30-day free trial was flagrantly abused by the majority of users, with memetic potential). 7-Zip can quickly zip/unzip compressed file formats like 7z, ZIP, GZIP, RAR, TAR, etc. The most noticeable thing about 7-Zip is that it offers up to 10 better file compression ratio than any other tool. Windows added support for the popular ZIP format way back in Windows ME, which is now older than some Grammy award-winners. Unlike Winrar, which forces users to purchase a license, 7-Zip is open-source and completely free to use.
