Default Jigsaw recommendation

I'm going to be removing some windows in an outdoor addition to my
house. This addition was installed by the previous owner and
unfortunately he used particle board for the walls. These walls have
molded very badly despite all my efforts otherwise. They are beyond
repair (not that I'd repair them anyway).

There are 5 relatively new windows in excellent condition I want to
remove from these walls before I tear the extension down. The walls are
vinyl-sded on the outside and painted on the inside. There is a small
layer of insulation in between. I need a good jigsaw to tear through
all this to remove the windows.

What kind of jigsaw would be best for this application, and how many
amps should it be rated? Would I be better off with an orbital saw?

I've seen several brands: B&D, Craftsman, Craftsman Professional,
DeWalt, Mikita, Milwaukee Skil, and others. I've heard good things
about DeWalt and Mikita but most of the 6+amp models are out of my
price range. I really don't want to spend over $120.

Any comments?
