I moved from ZIP/WINZIP to WINRAR many years ago, then about 2 years ago discovered 7-zip. I have found it to be superior for a number of reasons.
1. It's free (Full Open Source = No shareware messages).
2. It has a native x64 version (very fast).
3. It's explorer (Right Click) integration is excellent.
4. It works with pretty much everything.
5. Windows xp/vista/7 all love it
6. It's a very small install
WINrar does have a prettier graphic interface though, and maybe supports a few of the wierder archive formats that 7-zip does not.
Cheers

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
