    WinZip is one of the great old shareware apps that defy getting old and useless. Starting with version 12, WinZip provides a better .zip compression than most other applications (probably including WinRAR). .zip is still important these days while .rar is not. Also, there is a new format called .zipx which is meant to be a competitor to 7z. I think WinZip is still better than most people here might think. :)

    This app is slow and bulky compared to 7zip and WinRAR (when handling ZIP files), the licensing changes are flat-out a bad value, especially for those who paid for Lifetime updates and got shafted.

    I can hardly believe that this product is still considered as worth purchasing. Annual "Upgrade Assurance".? Please...

    Yes, they ask yearly payment for upgrades. But how do you expect to get updates (and upgrades) with latests improvments ?! Winzip does its job perfectly and nice interface ... Though it still don't has one feature like Winrar:
    try to span 4gb file (1gb each part for example) and make first file executable.
    Winrar does it very nice, Winzip - don't. Only because i give 4.5 stars from 5.
    Anyway, it is very nice archiver ...

    Interfce has not changed.
    Could not view a simple html file with the default viewer.

    Would not pay for this..
