Internal distributions are usually not used on productive Unix

For a long time we've just been using zips for internal
distributions and it
hasn't caused a problem. Just figured we would cater to the windows
users
because there are more of them.

Is it really worth bothering? I see no positive aspects, apart from

"modern zip implementation", which Unix distributions tend to have
not. I''d strongly recommend to keep tar distributions.
Note, that you could also say that "modern unarchives seem to be
able
to extract tar files" and recommend to drop the zip distribution
with
roughly the same likelyhood to be correct.

how about
we
