    WinRAR said it had a 40 day trial, but it actually never expired and you could continue using it forever for free. You never had to pay.

    Which is why we have all the WinRAR memes.

    Due to this, it was actually pretty goated, and remembered fondly by many.

      I honestly would buy a $300 copy of Windows Enterprise, provided it didn’t have adware and other invasive things. Unfortunately, the last time I bought a premium Windows was back when Windows 7 Ultimate roamed the world.

      These days, I just pirate a copy of Enterprise via RUFUS, and use ShutUp10 to kill whatever nastiness that Microsoft is up to. That sucks. I want to just buy a perfect Windows and get on with my day.
