   I've found 2 features very useful:
   
   1) The ram drive - because it frees the memory after you delete files from it (unlike other programs I tried).
   
   2) For programs with thousands of files, the "Private Folders" (with the encryption turned off) is a very fast way of storing everything together in one package - which often can speed up the programs, as seeking many individual files on the hard disk is slow.

   ZIP is already supported in Windows XP & Vista.
   This means that there is already a car available in the OS.
   
   No support for other archive formats is pretty much like like no support at all !
   
   Please keep your car for yourself and I keep the ZIP-Ferrari that came already with Vista : OK !!

   Some people here complains: "Why should I use this?" And even: "Why if only supports Zip format, and not Rar or others?" Well, the same goes if I want to buy a car or not. If I don't need it, I don't buy it BUT I don't complain. And if I do, I can choose a cheap one or the best Ferrari. It is not a MUST buying the Ferrari. Right?
   
   I mean: May be Zip format is a "worst car" than Rar format or 7z, but anyway *it is a car*, and carries you everywhere much better than your simple legs.
   
   An example: My installation of LightWave spreads 9600+ files (!) and 1000+ folders all through my hard disk. Some of my Adobe apps do it too. Even after defragmenting, loading these apps is a pain of 100% HD activity and 0% of CPU activity (!). Think about it. Cpu literally sleeps while HD sweats blood. It means our resources are badly distributed.
   
   I compressed my LightWave folder into only one Zip file, I defragmented it, and turned it into a virtual folder. Now LightWave loads at lightspeed!! Yes, Cpu needs time to decompress it, but you will discover that decompressing is much faster than moving around your hard disk heads. I dont't need to complain about lack of other formats (Rar, etc) while I'm happy with this system. I am happy with my Citröen/Zip even I haven't got a Ferrari/7z. Much better a Citröen/Zip than nothing! It takes me there, as a Ferrari/7z does! Ten minutes later, you say? Do you really care? Ferrari or nothing? Hehe, try walking, and choose again. You will love Citroen!
   
   Only one complaint: You must be sure that you will never need write acces to your virtual folders. I hope this wil change.

   It has an SDK, so we have to wait a bit for support for other formats. Hope soon.
   
   And it's free :)
