Slow Vista Unzip Revisited

I posted a while back on my frustrations with the slow file unzip with my new version of Vista Home Premium.

I reckon I spent an hour last night looking at over 200 pages that mention the problem but none of them seem to have a cure.

What I’ve done for now is downloaded the trial version of WinRar. It works a treat and my unzipping occurs as quick as a flash. For example, I downloaded the latest version of Wordpress, using the unzip feature built into Windows Vista it took a slow couple of hours to unzip. Using WinRar it was done in seconds
The only catch is that it’s going to cost me $29 to register after my 40 day free trial is up.

I wonder if I can get Microsoft to reimburse me cause I had to buy something to replace a very defective feature in their OS. I don’t like my chances, but it’s plain rude to charge for something that doesn’t work properly.

What would you do if you bought a new sports car and it would travel more than 10 miles an hour?
