This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.

I don't recall anyone having Plus! back then.
I think we did.
But it was added to base Windows in XP anyway.
