Compressing Programs

Now we are back after a lot of time (due to some exams of mine), and now we start with reviews. I started at the simplest things, like what is the program we use most and here is my final thought

  1. Internet Browsers(Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari etc.)
  2. Games (Latest Games and most played ones)
  3. Text Editors (Notepad, Microsoft Office etc.)
  4. Compression Programs (WinRar, 7-zip, TurboZip etc.)

*Bonus: In the end is another compressing method that is 10-40% better than WinRar, but is with CMD.
