How adding ZIP support to Windows almost got a Microsoft employee fired
It's a basic feature now, but back in the 90s, adding ZIP support to Windows was a big deal.
Nowadays, opening ZIP files on Windows is a very run-of-the-mill type of affair, but back when compressed folders were starting to pop up, that wasn't exactly the case.
