I suggest using 7-Zip:
Supported formats:
- Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM
- Unpacking only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, FAT, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR and Z.

How do I extract bz2.tar tarballs on Windows 7?
Download 7-zip from here and extract the archive.
What program will do it?
Without knowing the contents of the archive - pretty much impossible to say.

WinRAR also handles TAR and TAR.GZ (tarball) formats.

+1 for not posting a bare link... – JNK – 2010-09-21T20:54:18.297
@JNK: To be honest, I don't know how this post was any more helpful than the bare link... – Sasha Chedygov – 2010-09-22T00:37:59.147
1@musicfreak (1) Link rot (2) There's a second question. – Sathyajith Bhat – 2010-09-22T00:57:42.703
I'm pretty sure the second question is the same as the first. "What program will do it?" == "What program will extract tarballs on Windows?" – Sasha Chedygov – 2010-09-22T01:36:34.100
@musicfreak shrugs downvote if you don't like it. – Sathyajith Bhat – 2010-09-22T01:53:23.770
I'm not going to downvote you, my point was that bare links aren't necessarily bad if they answer the question. Nothing wrong with your answer. :) – Sasha Chedygov – 2010-09-22T02:26:09.933
@Sathya While your answer is clearly more constructed, I find that sometimes brevity and overall "zen-nes" is overall better for didactic purposes. In other words, some questions are best answered with another question. – Dr_bitz – 2010-09-22T10:53:50.410
To clarify, the question was written in a manner of speech. The second intended to restate the first. One link was fine. – Moshe – 2010-09-22T18:51:41.517
