The point of the post was that Winzip will no longer be free after a
period of 21 days
wether or not if anyone uses i. I use WinZip and PkZip either or if I
choose to use it.
Oh I thought the point was that Vector Capital was hoping to turn WinZip
around to a money making proposition like it has with Corel. There is a
difference between what you're saying now & what I thought you were
pointing out.
I have the last free version of WinZip 9.0 before it went play or pay.
I always thought WinZip was shareware that one was suppose to pay for &
that's why I've not used it in ages. I thought it was too much money for
too little product & I certainly didn't want it adding to my context menus.
Because of WinZip I feel that many apps try to add to the context menu & it
makes it a real pita to clean up on some users machines because they always
take the defaults like a lost sheep.
Otherwise if you don't want to pay then use another zip utility of your
choice.
Thank you I will & if many people feel the way I do about it then Venture
Capital won't have a chance at converting the company into a profit making
machine. How they think they can make money when MSFT & so many others give
archiving utilities away for free is beyond me. The nix command line
utilities work great if some one wants to zip or unzip from with in a
script file as well. ;-)
