Review by Patrick O

For those who very occasionally run across a zip file and need to open it, WinZip 14 likely isn’t worthwhile. Ever since Windows XP, after all, Microsoft has included a built in zip manager. The trouble is that while this basic zip management exists, it really is not all that good. It opens and it makes zip files.

For those who deal with lots of files and find that compressing and combining files into zip folders is a regular task, I heartily recommend WinZip 14. It is very easy to use, and provides significantly more compression than other programs I have used. It also offers much better security options, and overall has made my file management tasks and emailing significantly easier.

This is a program that works, works easily, and works better than anything else I have found. Definitely worth the small amount of money.
