Windows announced that it will natively support .rar format files. WinRAR chief creator responded
At this week’s Build 2023 conference, Microsoft announced that Windows 11 will soon natively support mainstream compressed file formats such as rar and 7z . Later, some netizens exclaimed that there is no need to buy genuine paid WinRAR in the future.
For this matter, Louise Cusworth, a member of the sales team of win.rar GmbH, the German company behind WinRAR, responded generously to media concerns.
Cusworth said, first of all, I feel honored. Microsoft ‘s decision will make rar known to more people, and it will also facilitate users who are not familiar with using WinRAR software.
Second, of course we have concerns. After all, Microsoft is a software giant, and we are just a small company, and rar is not the private property of WinRAR, but we still hope that everyone supports a small company like us to make WinRAR better.
In addition, Cusworth also confirmed that Windows 11’s support for the rar format is limited to decompression, and cannot directly create rar archives.
Finally, Cusworth pointed out that the beta version of WinRAR 6.22 has just been released, and there will be a major upgrade to the software before the end of the year, please wait and see.
According to the data, the rar compression algorithm was invented by Russian engineer Eugene Roshal 30 years ago, and he developed the WinRAR software 2 years later.
