there is already similar products for windows and mac but more appropriate for the windows/mac systems.

ask the PowerPacker author why he did not make a windows version of PowerPacker.

and why? Windows would for instance croak when it encounters a BZIP'ed file without a correct extension, for instance RAKE a MS-Exe file and put it on a windows machine and watch how windows behave.

there is also UltimateZIP which I think is very good (can handle just about any format) but unfortunately it's a (what I call) 'sponsored freeware'.

and then you have WinRAR which is a lot better than WinZIP (in the supported archives department)

but WinZip isn't bad in itself but you need extra decompresors to handle LHA etc.
