New features in Amiga Forever 2010
* More than 100 usability improvements for a more refined and productive experience
* New user interface features to more easily change or add virtual disks, grab screens, etc.
* Enhanced integrated Workbench 1.3 and 3.X environments (new configuration settings, easy printing, etc.)

* Enhanced Export to Device functionality to save games to SD card, etc.

* New system ROMs (e.g. some versions that were unique to the Amiga 3000)
* Officially tested to comply with "Compatible with Windows 7" requirements, with full support for Windows Vista and Windows 7, both x86 and x64 (possibly still the first and only Windows software with custom-shaped glass-enabled skin)
Additional new and improved features that were already included in part in Amiga Forever 2009
* All included games and demoscene productions are now in RP9 format (uses less disk space and makes it very easy to add or remove files)
* RP9 Manager to scan for and import/export content
* Seamless, one-click integration of AmiKit and AmigaSYS add-ons lets you experience a broader variety of Amiga perspectives
* New system ROMs (e.g. the 0.7 Kickstart required to run the software used by Andy Warhol in the 1985 Launch of Amiga demo)
* Improved documentation and help (new Tip of The Day balloon, new documentation in Windows Help format)
* Emphasis on usability: interface and settings are improved, but remain consistent with the previous 2009 version and with C64 Forever (also see Tips for Upgraders)
* Content more than quadrupled (disk images are now compressed in the new RP9 format, and also used directly by the installer)
* New "Amiga Forever Game Pack I" (more than 100 games)
* More than 100 beautiful demoscene productions
* New Gallery items: original Tripos article, "top secret" Amiga-Atari documents, and much more
* New system HDFs: complete Amiga OS 1.3, 2.1 and 3.1 installations with only a minimum of add-ons (e.g. Y2K fixes, RTG update for 3.1), but otherwise identical to the original (including file attributes as intended by Commodore, which were lost in later distributions)
* New ADFs (1.3 Extras, complete 3.1 install set, etc.)
* New ROMs (Amiga 1000, A590 and A4091 boot ROMs, system-specific ROMs required for added compatibility, etc.)
* Preinstalled WHDLoad "kickemu" support
* New KX Light, bootable from CD and with HD installation option (now featuring live updates) and extended hardware support
