Blows my mind that anyone still uses WinRAR when 7zip exists.
What should blow your mind is that it's 2023 and you still need a separate program to extract compressed files on windows. ๐ Good thing they're adding native support for it in windows 11. FINALLY.
Windows has had native unzip support since Microsoft Plus! 98 added it to Windows 98 in 1998.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Plus!#:~:text=ZIP%20file%20integration%20with%20Windows%20Explorer%20was%20first%20introduced%20with%20this%20version%20under%20the%20name%20of%20%22compressed%20folders%22.
I don't recall anyone having Plus! back then.
I think we did.
But it was added to base Windows in XP anyway.
