WinZip(R) 14 Takes Advantage of Windows(R) 7 Innovations
MANSFIELD, Conn., Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
New WinZip 14 offers many usability enhancements, improved security, and a new Backup Edition
WinZip Computing, a Corel Company (Nasdaq: CREL; TSX: CRE), today announced the release of WinZip(R)
14.
WinZip 14 takes full advantage of the new capabilities in Windows(R) 7, streamlining the zipping and unzipping
processes and affirming WinZip's position at the vanguard of file compression, encryption, packaging and data
backup software. In addition to the Standard edition and the full-featured Pro edition, WinZip 14 is now also
available in the new Backup edition.
WinZip 14 saves time and space, making it easy to zip and unzip files for quick, efficient, and secure file transfer,
email transmission, and data storage. It is the data compression choice for millions of users, including thousands of
organizations, government agencies and Fortune 500 companies. More than 190 million users have downloaded
copies of WinZip from CNET's download.com alone.
WinZip 14 Incorporates Windows 7 Enhancements
Windows 7 includes many significant enhancements that simplify working with documents, folders, and
programs. WinZip 14 takes advantage of these new features to make working with Zip files easier than ever:
Libraries: WinZip 14 provides support for Windows 7 libraries. Libraries group together folders with a common
theme; for example, the Pictures library puts all of your folders that contain pictures in one convenient place. With
WinZip 14 you can simply select the Pictures library and zip all of your pictures, no matter where they are. And with
the advanced JPEG compression supported in the Zipx format you can compress these pictures 20-25% without
any loss of quality or data integrity. Backing up your important data is a breeze using libraries via the WinZip Job
Wizard.
Jump Lists: WinZip 14 also supports the new Jump Lists. Simply pin the WinZip icon to your taskbar for quick
and easy access to frequently used zip features, as well as to recently used Zip files and WinZip jobs.
Windows Touch: If you have a touch screen computer you will love WinZip's full support for gestures -- simple
finger movements -- on your touch screen PC. Using gestures, you can easily scroll through the contents of your
Zip files. You can even pan, zoom, and rotate your images in WinZip Pro's built-in Image Viewer without touching
your keyboard or mouse!
Other interface enhancements include improved Dialogs in the Windows 7 style and new filtering and
organizational enhancements for finding files and archives.
Improved Security
A key reason why many users purchase WinZip is its strong, easy-to-use AES encryption. WinZip 14 introduces
automatic wiping of temporary copies of encrypted files after viewing, using the U.S. Department of Defense
standard (DoD 5220.22-M). In addition, WinZip 14 recognizes Intel-based computers with built-in AES encryption
and uses the available hardware support to make encryption operations two to three times faster.
WinZip 14 Backup edition
For the first time WinZip 14 is also available in a Backup edition. With its powerful Job Wizard users can
automatically backup important data files and upload data backups to an off-site server using the internal FTP
client, or burn backups to CD or DVD. An automated email notification can be sent upon job completion.
Availability
WinZip 14 is available now. Pricing starts at $29.95 (USD) for WinZip 14 Standard edition, $39.95 (USD) for
Backup edition and $49.95 (USD) for Pro edition. Attractive volume licensing discounts are available. Existing
registered users can upgrade to WinZip 14 at 50% of the new license fee.
