It still works in windows or not?

No, there's an old version which doesn't work very well available for windows, so you should use linux.

There really isn't any reason you shouldn't be using Linux if you're doing something like this. I'm not a huge linux fanboy or anything, it's just that all the software/capability is on linux, and as I said, it takes about 30 minute to set up. Way less time than trying to struggle along trying to use  windows for something like this..

Wouldn't John the Ripper do the same job? I am a bit new to cracking, and I have never heard of this tool.

John would do the same job, but fcrackzip is an easier solution - no hashes to mess around with etc. If you're happy with john and have the jumbo patch installed theres no real reason to use this - it was mainly for people who want a quick method to try out if they have little experience in cracking.
