    Windows has had native unzip support since Microsoft Plus! 98 added it to Windows 98 in 1998.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Plus!#:~:text=ZIP file integration with Windows Explorer was first introduced with this version under the name of "compressed folders".

        Same for Macs. They technically support zipping and unzipping, they’re just bad at it. It’s so stupid.

            There’s a maximum file size, I forget what it is. And it also can’t handle zips in multiple pieces.

              An abortion you can’t even get rid of! Its icon is stuck the dock forever, even if you use something better like Forklift. The whole mac GUI is just shit.

        I think we did.

        But it was added to base Windows in XP anyway.
