FWIW, Windows doesn't seem to come with a whole lot, and you need
3rd party software for a number of things, BUT that is also one of the
primary reasons that I need to be able to  quickly get snapshots from
my Git repositories at home, and using zip format is convenient if I am
in an extremely restrictive environment and cannot get a smaller XZ
compressed snapshot :).
