Reviewing 11.50 Beta 2 (Mar 27, 2009)
I use 7-Zip (www.7-zip.org) under Windows and never felt the need for an alternative. However if this same PowerArchiver was available in the Linux world then I think the success would be huge.

i hate it when they go so ridiculously far ahead in time with the years. it's so stupid and childish. i know u want to be cool and sound ahead, but cmon. 2009 has just started. there is nothing of 2010 at this time of the year, not even for a beta that will come later. idiots.
aside from that, good program overall but it just never felt specially solid in any certain area. i feel it's more worried about looks than whatever else... i like winrar more.

@ Banquo: I have been using this new version for a few weeks now, and I have not come across that back up folder issues as was in previous version :-)
This new version is also a bit faster for me.. Nice.

Very annoying backup feature creates empty folders in your My Documents folder, even if you don't use the backup feature. No way to turn it off. I hate it when programs clutter up my documents folder like that.
