Winzip Or Winrar

I've been using WinZip for a long time, I don't need anything else....yet

I've used WinZip for ages...and it's legally registered too!
If you're interested, WinZip is releasing version 9 beta, which includes a new compression format called "Maximum (enhanced deflate)". Apparently it compresses really good, and WinZip 8.1 is able to uncompress archives made in this format.
In my opinion, I say WinZip. It's too bad they can't add more compatible formats (like ACE, RAR, etc. support)

I like WinRar and WinZip

WinRAR only. Wz is obsolete.

WinRAR is far superior to WinZip. Just look. WinZip can only (de)compress .zip files whereas WinRAR (de)compresses the lot.
PS. I downloaded WinAce from WinAce.com but it was in German. Not one word of English!

Well i currently use the beta version of WinZip 9.0, before that i was using WinZip 8.1 SR-1 and WinRAR 3.** (i don't remember) because it gives you more. I liked more WinZip 8.1 because it had nice GUI.

Have used both winzip and winrar but i prefer winrar by far.

I personally like WinZip better, but use WinRAR too and sometimes WinAce.

The good thing about WinZIP is speed. I don't wanna have to spend an extra 5 seconds for every megabyte on WinRAR just for that extra 1% compression. And once it took me 2 hours to compress a 1-CD movie (WinRAR), while it took 2 minutes with Zip. It's just: less time vs. better compression. So suit yourself
