Great - Used this for a long time now, I install on any new installation immediately, works excellently.

Great - Supports all popular archive formats and it's own .7z format offers even compresson sizes!

~ anonymous on Jan 31, 2010

Great - 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.

Great - Best compression program ever. Doesn't take over your computer or install tons of secondary applets.
~ anonymous on Jan 29, 2010

Great - 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.)
~ anonymous on Jan 29, 2010

Great - Free, supports loads of formats, bit ugly though.
Best choice for windows.

Great - The texture that they have a filament cart to liberate 7-zip and a invasive shew database is normally the categorization on the cake.

Just OK - Windows interface is quirky, using Modal/Modeless windows in the wrong places, enabling menu options which should be greyed out, other small issues.
~ anonymous on Jun 28, 2009

Great - Best non-intrusive UI for an unzipping package
