Review by Chen Sun

WinZip installed and was operational on my first pass in installation on Windows XP. Once the dominant file compression software, WinZIP now faces many more competitors, and more important, high speed bandwidth made file compressions less needed. If you don’t use file compression much, this is an unnecessary product, as freeware or lower cost alternatives are available. If use file compression extensively, this product is easy to use, adapts to a wide variety of files, and has most of the bells and whistles; thus a good value.
