Winzip 8

Evaluation version is free.

What am I missing? I have had Winzip 8 for probably 6 months at least now.

Lex Luthor, I don't think you are missing anything. The original poster, however...different story.

i downloaded 100 copies, and i'm going to sell them on e-bay now!

I bow humbly to the senior member.
I, too, may one day be a senior member if the tech board is willing and then maybe I will see nothing new under the sun.
I must assume you were being constructive. May I infer since you have had winzip8 for six months it is a good upgrade? Or that a new version is coming soon and it would be better to wait?
As I have mentioned previously, my Sony is the first pre-loaded system I have had and it did not have Win-zip on it! My old system had an older version....I saw the evaluation copy and thought this might be an upgrade for some people, not just me.

There's got to be a way to get Staples to Pricematch this....

 

[CLiu]

There are definitely people who benefits from reading it. Give him a break.

 

[randomlinh]

but this doesn't really qualify as a &quot;hot deal&quot; maybe a post in the software or general forum. see, i'm being constructive

 

[Polluter]

Hey!! ygreenkitty, does your MOM know you are on the Internet again?

 

[jblondi]

&quot;What's Winzip?&quot; sarcasm. Its ok to be a newbie, we all were once. How about next time just doing a little research, and look around, before you make yourself &quot;Look&quot; like a newbie. Keep us posted on a newer version, but probably not in this forum. TY.

[PsychoCrazy]

Shoot!!! All out in my area. I even had a coupon! No free Winzip for me I guess.

 

[darrenford]

cloudchief,

Good info on PowerArchiver. I switched to it a while back. I didn't know there was a 2000 version. It is slower than winzip, but free more than makes up for that.

 

[LuZeR]

this must be another typo. just keep this quiet and we will all be able to get in.
Don't post this to other boards, if you remember what happened with the 21in monitor, etc.
and, as always, if the &quot;company&quot; renegs on the deal, Class Action Lawsuit !!!.

 

[wjones]

I use Zip Magic and I like it!
It is from Ontrack.com

If you are going to get Win ME upgrade, you can get Zip Magic and other softwares for free after rebate.

[ABErickson]

And nobodoy call to ask if it's a mistake or not!!!!!

 

[Croton]

sh!t.

i called winzip.com and they said that they are pulling the eval off the shelves because it was a pricing error.

sorry for messing up the deal guys!

 

[RayW69]

ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!! MyTampons has TAKEN OVER the Anandtech Forums.
That being said, FREE NAPKINS at McDonalds... Just go in and grab 'em. HOT DEAL!!!

 

[daid]

I wonder how many &quot;Hot Deals&quot; we miss out on because some poor lurker here is too afraid to be flamed, or says &quot;Forget them... they don't deserve it&quot;.

 

[Ranger X]

LOL, this is funny. People are flaming and my name isn't included in any posts. ygreenkitty, Winzip is free and evaluation version will always be free. It doesn't qualify as a hot deal.

 

[wjones]

How many of you actually pay for Winzip?
