Lots of programs handle 7z. But a lot don't. If someone has to search 
for, download, and install yet another zipper he isn't going to bother 
with GPUFractal. There's a nearly infinite amount of downloads one can 
get from the internet, and it's real easy to pass by anything that 
offers even minor roadblocks to downloading.

A friend of me told me long ago that he was successful because he was 
"easy to do business with". He tried to make it as painless and easy as 
possible for people to buy his products and services. Amazon does it 
with their "one click" thing. Apple does it with itunes. Just something 
to think about.
