Heh, as long as we're dishing on zip packages...

99% of the time I use Windows XP's built-in zip/unzip. I don't like WinZip
hardly at all. It's installed on my work computers and I often have to tell zip
files just to open up with XP's built-in utility.

That said, I also use 7-Zip especially for compressing and decompressing very
large files (backups), and for non-zip archives.
