    I've used unzip thermal and 7zip. 7zip is the best.

    I tried Unzip Them All, too, and I couldn't stand it, plus it put a bunch of extra junk on my computer when I installed it. Not a fan at all.

    Sorry, I have nothing to offer, Apple opens them automatically. I guess I'm spoiled!

    WinZip..

    I believe you can do it natively in Windows now, too, just be selecting multiple at a time.. Not sure, though.. I'm on a mac right now and can't test it..

    ACDSee unzips all my files lightning fast and stashes the folders exactly where I want them. It not only unzips but keeps my stash organized.

    Love my 7zip and it's free. The thing now that I have Windows 8 is that I can't figure out how to get the 7zip menu showing zhen you right click on a zip folder. I use to just right click and unzip to my liking but now I have to go in the program to do it... I could google but it's not trouble enough for me to actually want to look for the solution lol

    I've use WinRar for a long time. It's free and works like a charm. :)

    microsoft windows 7 will unzip everything on it's own too. i like that extract now will unzip a whole bunch to a specific folder of my choosing.

    Windows 7 and Windows 8 only unzip one file at a time, and only when you specifically tell it to. MacOS can be set to automatically unzip upon download, and if you don't do that, it will unzip any number of files at the same time. Yes, technically Windows can unzip things, but it really doesn't compare at all to what Macs can do out of the box. That's why we Windows people need other programs and Mac people don't.
