I don't think it should be used for internet downloads, but prehaps we should use thier compression algorithm in the ReactOS installer? That would decrease file size by quite a bit and not require some wierd software on the user's machine.
If you're going to take the approach of installing things in "packages" that might be worthwhile. I'm not sure what the stats on 7-Zip compression are, but I'm sure just as with anything else, the smaller the set of data, the worse it performs.
Of course, if that's how the installer works, it'll wind up installing in *much* less time then Windows does, even if ReactOS includes more stuff on their disc to put in at initial system install.
