    Likewise, in 1995 M$ made WinRAR. it took the place of a much better product that was PKZip which existed since 1989. Since then I always see crooked things in each of their products and predatory commercial moves.

        from your link : “WinRAR is a Windows-only program.”
        … you are right that it was created by someone else in an independent company but then distributed by M$ … the important part for me is that it came after PKZip and took its place, and is worse.
