Windows 11 to Include Native Support for 7-Zip, RAR, and Other Compression Formats
Microsoft has confirmed that upcoming Windows 11 updates will provide built-in support for multiple archive formats such as 7-Zip and RAR files. This development implies users won't have to rely on additional tools or the standard Windows zip utility to compress files.
During the Build developer conference currently in progress, Microsoft shared its strategy to offer compatibility with a wide range of archive formats. These will include tar, 7-Zip, rar, gz, among others. This enhancement meets a persistent request from the Windows user base. While earlier iterations of the operating system had built-in support for zip archiving, this often proved inadequate when compared to alternative solutions. As a result, formats like 7-Zip and RAR necessitated the use of third-party tools such as WinRAR.
Microsoft stated that the support for these file compression formats will roll out in the upcoming week. However, it should be noted that it will feature as part of a preview version of Windows 11 and won't be included in the recent Moment 3 update.

Eer, its been so long since I last used one.
But you rip your game from the disc CD/DVD via rom drive and then mount the game to run virtually. Without the need to put the game disc into the rom drive to play..

Ah, hay ho, no rom drive at the mo, I must hunt one down, probs one in the attic.

Windows will support already outdated compression formats that have been superseded by xz and zstd. Impressive
Microsoft sure is slow about these things, aren't they. Remember how long it took them to support FLAC audio?

It already does? so does win 10
just right click any .iso and click mount
Daemon Tools still needed sadly due to only supporting ISO's.

That's really good news.
Now, how about a virtual rom drive, to be the icing on the cake.
Hmm, what else?
