7-Zip
  author: Igor Pavlov  

 
  function/equiv: file compression/decompression
(replaces WinZip for me)		   download link: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html  
  license: GNU LGPL   homepage link: http://www.7-zip.org/  
  my version: 4.29  

 

why i like it:
7-Zip's Windows shell context-menu integration ('extract to here', 'extract to \*filename*\', 'add to archive') are pretty much the only way I use this program.  Its quite solid, and quick, and it supports a bunch of formats for extraction, too.
