For maybe four months I dual booted win98se and linux, until one day I gathered the courage and said goodbye to MS software on my pc. I havent looked back since, and have found so many excellent alternatives to MS products available. This route isnt for everyone, but it worked well for me, and its been 10 months MS free.

Get Zipcentral at www.zipcentraliscool.net.
Free Winzip clone, works for me when I have to use M$ (not very often admittedly)

yeah, getting rid of windows completely is the only way for anyone. windows is addictive "o, i can do this one thing so much quicker in windows, fzzht reboot" so i ditched windows after a year of dual booting. i find that winex is the best solution for gamings and i have never had winzip crash. now i have had problems witha capciters/*i hate those damned things*/ i have two dead 500mhz motherboads sitting around. i was thinking about buying a capiciter to match the blown one and just unsoder and resolder it to the board o well.
AlexMax:
Even better...
Try WinRAR. You should be able to find it at Downloads.Com, and it absoltely kicks the shit out of WinZip from my experience.
(EDIT: Christ, I didn't read enough of the post. Sorry about that.)

still, WinRAR is ace. Also, it is totally cross platform, you can get 'MacRAR' for mac, and 'rar' for linux (and i think it's open source too) MacRAR is graphical, and rar is console/text only, but is really easy to use, and all those versions are compatible with each other, although certain compression techniques used in more recent copies of the program may be unreadable if trying to open using an earlier version. (i am finding that my MacRAR is more recent than my WinRAR and is fucking it all up for me!)
