Cool fact, Microsoft make more money from Office for Mac than Windows OS.
YargonK
mfw adobe isn't listed as the most Bullshit priced one
asmpsUnityDog
I paid once as it was only a couple of dollars, if I can afford a Starbucks I can damn well pay for software I use regularly.
Shigbeard
I pay for none of these.

Wikipedia is the new winrar
Mokisan
I paid for winRAR. I have been using it for 25 years. It just seemed fair.
becks0815
same here
willconltd
I paid winrar, those guys are always there for you. Fuck this other guys.
khora
I had the company I worked for pay for winrar.
Dragoro2022
When I got my very first pc, I decided I would actually pay the winrar price to actually use the product "legitimately"
Dragoro2022
But, what I found out, is that there service isn't actually a free trial. It's more of a test out the big boy tools, and pay to keep those.
Dragoro2022
This is important for big businesses that need something super heavy duty. But the regular is like us having the "lite" version, exept
Dragoro2022
They dont suck and have advertisements everyfuckingwhere
SerenityC4
I use 7-zip and Linux :)
Ciriis
Jeez, First thing I do after installing WinRAR is open it on Resource Hacker and delete the nag registration dialog box. lol
Furyoflight
Adobe can sit and spin. I paid for programs and they claim they are so outdated they can’t be downloaded again.
icanseethefnords
...apt install unrar

Student edition of Adobe CC (all apps) is $19.99/month. Use your college alumni.edu email. Rock the discount.
alisa2089
Or get the elements version and you can stop paying monthly for software till the end of time.
SoraHjort
LibreOffice or OpenOffice to replace Micorosft Office. Not sure about the adobe one but if it's just storage: Google Drive or DropBox.
Yurets1257
Creative Cloud is a fancy word for all their products (as I understood).
SoraHjort
Oh you mean like Photoshop? Adobe Aftereffects? And so on? There are free alternatives to those :P
Shockandawmanwasthatdissapointing
Because Adobe costs too damn much. I mean, yarrr
TheContumeliousBaron
Problem is, none of them have viable alternatives accept winrar 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 options for compression all free
Starw1nd
Libreoffice, can open and save files in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Finedragon
LtKifKroker
There are plenty of good os's out there, you're just too lazy to find and use any of them (see ubuntu)
dickable
You really out here pretending OpenOffice isn't roughly as functional as MSO, and entirely, legally free?
TheContumeliousBaron
You ever use open office? Last time I believe it was java based and ran like a one legged dog in snow. It’s not a viable alternitive
Inkycricket
I would reccomend libreoffice, not openoffice.
znuff
Honestly, it's not. I love open source, but Excel and Word are in their own league and nothing is even close to them.
TheContumeliousBaron
Only thing coming close is google docs - they did a hell of a job
znuff
Sure, Libre Office (or Open) "works" for simple documents, but the tools to do specific tasks are years behind MS Office.
CanThinkOfUsername
I have all of that with the cost of some sketchy russian repack site.
quaglinoman
After 10 years I paid for it, as a thank you. It’s a great product I use often. It’s fair, but some may not have the funds so they get free
glassware
Nobody should use winrar
bobslydell
RAR was always an inferior format. ARJ for the win!
Diehardx95
i paid for it, i use it soo much and wanted to support the company who makes it.
boozebag
https://youtu.be/lX_pF03vCSU
JustSomePersonIdk
7zip, GIMP, and Libre office. While they mightn't cover everything, typically all I need.
JackRackemII
7zip for the win
FaithAlone
Yup!
Robotok
Great program. Awful looking UI. Wish it were improved.
HeHulk
Upgrade to PeaZip. You’re welcome.
IllOnlyForgetThePasswordAgain
Why are you seeing the UI? Just add it to context menus.
JollyWatson
I got WinRAR first just cause it's what a modder was using, any particular reason I should try 7zip?
Iwouldbenick
It has a bit more capability as well. Once you switch you will never go back!
KernalMustard
.
TheDrunkChicken
Freeware, light on system resources, supports every compression format you're likely to come across.
ChilledMonkeyBrains
It also gives you the option of command line so can run scripts easily. Don’t know if winrar does that?
JakunJa

reineseele
better compression
Sephers
I have been using 7zip for years and I love it. I use it to encrypt archives and it is fast and lightweight.
penisparty
dows
mcc1ane
peazip's fine too
gwenniechan
The best!
TheSomethingSomethingGenericReplyGuy
Thank God for them
JifLover
Office is cheap as hell compared to Adobe.
kojenk
Adobes model is aiming for maximum assholery and theyre not even done yet
DarthFluffyBottom
Office - Latest model [enter generic car brand here], Adobe - Bugatti La Voiture Noire
VresiBerba
That evil fuck who figured out that exact timing on the WinRAR nag-screen pop-up shall burn in hell for an eternity!
fuckthisishard
Just get 7zip
xFiDgetx
No
MexicanTrainer
So sayeth the lord.
DrNick
Why would I pay to use WinRAR when 7zip is better?
melwil
Why use winrar at all, that's the question.
FirstAidPoetry
I went back to WinRAR ages ago. Don’t remember why. Better shell integration? Tried PowerArchiver, it was crap.
SoraHjort
Well WinRAR does have the option to automatically open the extracted folder. Where as 7zip doesn't.
DrNick
Simple solution: navigate to the parent and drag the archive contents to said folder. You're pretty much there.
SoraHjort
That being said, there is a fork of 7zip that hasn't updated in a few years, that does have that feature. Easy 7-Zip
TheRealCrimesJohnson
...I bought WinRAR...
becks0815
me too :) https://imgur.com/jKVS3vq
TheRealCrimesJohnson
Congrats! I bought my copy about 15 years ago - you’re going to love not having that damn pop-up. :)
becks0815
Fun fact: I had the licence in the inbox for over a year until my PC required a reinstallation and I had to reinstall the cracked version
ChodeStool
Except that Office actually costs more than Windows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
IAmDuckHammer
I paid $9.95 for Office 2016 ProPlus a year ago.
md22mdrx
LibreOffice?
kalamazandy
And creative suite Faaaar out costs office suite. 12ish a mo th vs 79 a month
WellBehavedZombie
One time purchase of office home and student is 169 CAD, Windows is 189. If you want home and biz (319 - outlook), or 80 a yr for 365.
WellBehavedZombie
With that said, 95% of people paying for office have no need of it and can use Libre Office, Open office or google docs for their needs.
Ronski2
And 95% of people who need office usually get it for free.... Weird world this is.
squirreltactics
Not every needs or pays for office.
YharnamsFinest
Not if you just use it online
CountSonny
And creative cloud costs over $600/year
CommentsWithGandalf
Forever student versions of Office Pro using permanent alumni edu email address
iwaslikeduuude
My school cut it 2 years after graduation :/
OaksParcel
My university made sure this didn't work. But I still had access for a full year after I graduated.
CanThinkOfUsername
Jokes on me, my uni don't give .edu emails. F* them I had to beg once I had to get license for one machine learning program.
