Software History for 7-Zip 
Review
Great -
Free zip/unzip software that works well does not get in the way. Offers all the common formats: zip, tar, as well as the 7-zip format.

Can open darn near anything you run across, and does it all intuitively. 7zip is always in the first batch of tools I install when "moving in" to a new Windows system.

Best compression program ever. Doesn't take over your computer or install tons of secondary applets.

Terrible terrible interface, but if you turn on Explorer integration it's better. Still, this should handle most any archiving need you have, unless you're crazily into RARs. (It supports it, but I think heavy users rely on WinRAR.)
