For those who don't know what is Ubuntu, Ubuntu is a Operating system written totally on Linux kernel and is open source.

Operating system is the software which starts up and communicates with your hardware. Some operating system provides Graphical user interface (GUI) and some do not.
In the new version of Ubuntu there are many changes with a improved desktop. As you might be thinking i am writing this review in Ubuntu inside a tab of Google Chrome. As you can see in the screenshot, this operating system has a application launcher in its menu's. So for the first time after i installed Ubuntu when i went into the applications menu it had undergone a lot of changes. In the software side, The inside the office tab the open office org. was replaced by another set of softwares called libre office, And under the graphics Tab the Gimp photo editor had also disappeared. These were some of the changes under the softwares side. And i see that the performance in this version is also better. Some of the amazing things about this operating system is it has got a software named evolution mail where you are notified about your mails and chats. So you need not open your browser and login and do all sorts of things. When your computer starts up it logs you in and gives you updates about new mails and stuffs. The Ubuntu's scroll bar has also been changed. They dont look like the before version. They are very thin and when you place your mouse cursor on them they show the scroll up and down buttons.
The Classic new feature that was made was the Unity. The unity was not enabled because there was not enough system requirements.
