   Reviewing 9.08 Beta (Dec 5, 2009)

   This is not a beta release. This is an alpha release for 9.08.

   5/5 for me
   and 7-Zip > RAR in compression...
   
   but of course need better UI, because we are not in Win98 era... ;p

   Dead end, eh?! Riiight...
   
   So that is why Adobe switched compressing its CS from WinRAR to 7-Zip, and Microsoft adopted 7-Zip for its Silverlight distribution?
   
   This would be more authoritative place for compression ratings, where 7-Zip isn't doing so bad:

   I mainly use archivers for archiving multimedia contents, and even Winrar with the lowest compression beats 7-zip on highest compression. Taking that and the cluncky UI makes 7-zip more or less useless, and so it will remain for the rest of the time. It's a dead end project.

   Interface is a bit outdated. Not very user friendly but looks promising.
   
   Here is a gist from the forums regarding why version jump. Not much explained though.
