The most popular compression software for Windows, WinZip, would also come as Metro-Style App in Windows 8. As reported by Neowin.net, WinZip VP, Tom Vaughan confirmed the company’s plan to release a WinZip Metro-Style app.
Neowin asked WinZip about their plan to support Metro interface of Windows 8 which was replied by VP of WinZip as:
WinZip will definitely support the Windows 8 Metro platform. There isn’t too much more I can share at this time, but we’re excited to work with Microsoft and our hardware platform partners on Windows 8.
All the software makers which previously supported Windows 7 and its predecessors, would also want to support the all new Windows OS by Microsoft, which according to the Steven Sinofsky (Head of Windows Division at Microsoft) is ‘Windows reimagined’.
We have previously seen many Metro-Style Apps in Windows 8 Consumer Preview (aka Beta) and other software makers are slowly migrating/supporting the Metro interface of Windows 8. The most popular browser makers Mozilla and Google are already working to support Metro interface on their browsers Firefox and Chrome respectively.
By the time, we would see all the software(s) as a Metro-Style app. Whether a bit late but, everyone would want to make their software Metro interface compatible.
We will keep you updated with all the latest news about Windows 8 and it’s different products.
