Actually Corel just changed winzip to stop working after 60 days and saw a sales increase of 20%.


I always wondered how they made any money - then I did some work for the US DoD. Nearly every desktop has a licensed copy of WinZip! My new firm has WinZip licenses as well - while Windows can do zip files natively now, it still cannot (as far as I know?) encrypt them natively.
