9 out of 10 people I know use WinRAR. It's amongst the very firsr software they install at fresh start.

I myself also just changed to 7-Zip around... I don't know, a year ago?

Which part of the world is this, if you don't mind me asking? (just genuinely curious, cause I haven't come across any WinRARs in the wild here in NZ, most folks I know use either 7-Zip or PeaZip).
