I purchased WinRAR

After years of clicking that trial window, I finally did it.
Why haven't you supported the WinRAR devs yet, Sup Forums? Do you want them to starve?

RAR is a closed-source compression format.
Why the fuck would you use rar instead of .7z or gz or bz2 or xz or even fucking zip?

You did good son.

>not just using 7zip
are you literally retarded?

>freetardation

That's hilarious

seven
zip

someone post the comic

This one?

>>not just using 7zip
No official OSX build.

So someone finally did it! I never thought I will live long enough to witness this. OP is not a fag.

People still use Winrar?

cuck

I use winrar because it's the best archiver on windows. Otherwise I use tar.

The comic was about WinZip, which deserves shit. This is about WinRar, which deserves to be supported. Good job, OP.

...

I don't use winrar

Winrar hasn't been the best archiver for a long time now.

Nothing beats it.

Except 7zip

7zip does

What if OP is the dev of WinRAR and this thread is his viral spam to make people buy winrar?

7zip is "the best" just because you didn't had to pay for it, admit it

Because 7zip is infinitely better.
If they want my money, they can go make a better program than 7zip.

I'm still waiting for the official Mac OS X build. winrar has one.

No one had to pay for Winrar either.
The only reason to keep using Winrar is nostalgia since you used it since the 90s.

It's your problem for using hOmoSeX

Because...

WinRAR

You hadn't payed for Winrar if you pirate a key or if you abuse it. The reason to use it (and support it) is because the dev brought us the RAR archive format.

bought a license for like $5 years ago on discount somewhere, it was only valid for 3.8/3.9 or something

switched to 7zip now

What's so good about RAR?

What does it do better than .7z?

Which was nice, you know, back in the 90s

..and a meme.

>make people buy winrar

He's a shitty salesman then.

Personally, I've never rar'd any archives. Only unrar, which I believe has a free license.

the only people who make .rar files are people in the piracy scene
not the greatest market if you want to make money from licenses

IzARC patrician taste

Not much, in fact. It's kind of the same shit as comparing a commercial software with an open source version of it. Like Soundforge vs Audacity, you can do your job with any of them.
But if you can afford it, the developer deserves your support because he invented and implemented the RAR archive format.

Makes me wonder who the top clients are.

Is there some enterprise version of winrar that I don't know about?

Actually, my local school district paid for WinRAR, so I'd bet there is some kind of volume licensing.
They could have put that money to far better use IMO.
