7-Zip is a very simple yet powerful archive utility with extensive support for multiple formats. This free file archiver features an extremely easy to understand interface and common functions, but its greatest strength lies in the unique compression capability it offers. 7-Zip has been designed to reduce the size of different types of files (Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, images etc.) thus achieving a file which can be up to five times smaller than the original. 7-Zip uses the new 7z compression format, which compression rates are up to 50% better than standard ZIP, without any quality or speed loss. All you lose is file size! Besides this innovative format, 7-Zip supports other more common as ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, TAR and others, so you can use it with virtually any compressed file you find.

The 7-Zip interface is as simple as can be, with a dual panel file browser and some basic configuration options. It integrates seamlessly into the Windows context menu and can be automatically associated with any of the supported formats.

So, I downloaded 7-Zip in its latest version (9.09 beta) and installed it under the Windows 7 environment in order to test its behavior and compatibility, and what you are about to read is the results of such testing.
