What is the best option to open .rar files on Windows Vista?
WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files.

2pro: polished interface, creators of the compression so must be better supported / con: not free Feb 24, 2010 at 18:24

The unRAR.dll in 7-Zip actually has a license restriction--you can't use it to build a rar archiver.– BroamMar 9, 2010 at 17:01

It's true about the unpolished interface... but hey, the program itself is awesome and I never rar files anyway, I 7zip them. Dec 27, 2010 at 21:54
If you like the command line you can install UnRar from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html - it's free and native to Win32.
