I dont argue the fact that WinRar has a nice GUI, it sure it a nice example of complete integration into the Win32 environment.  What I do have to consider is the wallet I am sitting on.  It is empty.... So, when the choice between a phat GUI and raw functionality comes to the table, I have to choose the free alternative.  I guess I should be thankful that the free version even exists :)

Good point! There you go Ryan, as soon as you fix your computer, you can get the free version of WinRAR. You get the power, but not the pretty looks.

Oh, I got the multi-computer license of WinRAR, so it was relativly cheap for the ten computers that my family has I think I have about 2 or 3 computers left on the license legally, but I think they need to ones I actually own.

You know, when WinRar's evaluation period runs out, it only brings up a nag screen.  As far as I remember, it doesn't actually turn off any functionality.
