Comments and Reviews
Probably the best commercial File archiver. Too bad it's not free considering the other alternatives/competitors. The developers may take out the competition if it's free.
BandiZip is way better, Windows native (no wrapper like 7-Zip clones), fast, drag'n'drop support etc. BandiZip can also be used as a free version (with ads).
There are freeware alternatives that functionally do almost everything as the commercial archivers. However for an application I use daily, I'm willing to pay a little to get an overall more enjoyable experience. PowerArchiver has a beautiful looking GUI, it is fast and supports all formats you would expect. And it has a few unique features like an ftp client, burning cd's etc...
Also you get free updates, and the price is affordable, making this what I think is the best commercial archiver.
