You don't "need" to even use XP. Or Linux. You don't "need" a lot of
things. But sometimes they present some substantial advantages and are
quite useful.

XP's native zip capabilities are mediocre and not even to the "legacy"
level - the highest compression all zip programs can work with. And it
offers little of the control or bells & whistles of winzip 12 nor the
very tight compression algos should you wish to use them. XPs version
of zip is targetted toward a more confined use where winzip is much more
generalized and offers many more capabilities.
XP's zip capabilities are very useful in the way they are used and
for the purposes it was provided for. But Winzip gives the users a lot
more control and power over their compression and encryption work and
avoid having to mess with certificataes as EFS requires, plus a lot more
things.

The "classic" mode simply means the old interface of past WinZip
products; some people don't like the new interface at first.
