Why did WinRAR Unplugged (portable Winrar version) get discontinued?
superboyac:
Anyone have any information about why the portable version of winrar got discontinued?
Renegade:
I'm not very surprised.
I've met Burak - the fellow who runs WinRar - and he struck me as a smart business fellow.
The compression market is one of the most crowded and most competitive out there. You have to be borderline insane to want to get into it. Last I checked, the typical broad keywords you need to turn up in a search are more competitive than broad porn keywords. Literally. It is THAT competitive.

So you're saying the portable version made it too easy to pirate?
Since you know the guy, any info about why they have two very different websites for the same product? ;D

I'm not exactly sure, but Burak told me that they had a hard time and failed to get winrar.com as some fellow was squatting on it.
