That said, I highly recommend 7-Zip. It is free, open source software that supports ZIP, RAR, ISO and their on 7z format. http://www.7-zip.org/
The only downside is it is Windows only... wish they would port it to Mac too.

Aye, I used to swear by WinZip, long ago. And for the last 7 years or more, I swore by PowerArchiver. It's a great utility that covers MANY formats, but it's share/trial. After 30 days, it still works, but the longer you use it past the time limit, the more you have to wait until you can extract... such as 5 seconds, 8 seconds, etc...It also became bloated.
I now swear by 7-zip. Great thing about it is that it integrates with your system menu and it a very small plugin. right-click the file, choose Extract To Here, and it extracts the file in it's current directory, no needing to actually open up the program.
