Although MS Vista like most things is unneccessary - but is more secure than previous MS OS (of which I have 4 on 4 PCs), I bought a portable with Vista and it will run the excellent Cloanto 'Amiga Forever'.
Even though I still have 2 real Amigas left of about 14 purchased, I use my 3 purchased Cloanto AF packages to run Amiga programmes excellently/cheaply.
IMO the Amiga did die in 1994, and memories are more cheaply/effectively recalled via £30 Cloanto 2 DVD/CD package top/bottom/any Amiga inc CD32 via emulation.
