I feel bad for WinRar

You know WinRar? Rar archiving software? Well, pretty much, they give you a 30 day trial, and when it runs out, it just reminds you you'll have to buy it it's like "hey, don't forget to buy, ok? Please, just buy" I mean, you can still use it indefenitley and there is no stopping it, when do you think was the last time WinRar made money?

Not much, but it still makes some money.

ninite installs 7-zip so I use that.

EDIT: Oh, Ninite also supports WinRAR. But I still use 7-zip

I use Windows 7 and I think it has it's own thing preinstalled? I don't see any reason to use WinRar then. I used to when I was running Windows 98 or XP or so, but that's been way back.
