LMAO It just hit me that Windows STILL did not have native ways to do this. We've been using .rar for 30 years and for this whole time, Microsoft never released their own utility for opening them until now. Wow.
EDIT: Mb. I meant to say the .rar files. I have corrected my comment. It's still ridiculous, though.
You've been able to open zips in windows for a long time. This is for formats like .rar and .7z
Iirc it also means that windows users can finally open tar balls
yeah fr, tho iirc they can't yet make them officially
I'm not too worried about that, just glad the few people I know who'll still use windows after this update will be able to open them without me making sure it's a file type they can manage
