1. You obviously haven't tried searching for files while haning many zips. It opens 
up and searches though every one. I have over 10,000 zips...
2. Windows has bad support for running apps from a zip (it only extracts the exe).
3. When unzipping it seems to unzip everything to a temp dir, then move it to where 
you want.

Personally I prefer winrar over winzip, but thats just becasue it supports many more 
formats.
