- Improved multi-language support, with additional translations and language-specific fonts. 70 languages are supported.
- Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera, all of them with support for webm and Adobe Flash content

- Wubi, allowing easy installation alongside Windows
- The ISOs are now Hybrid ISOs, making them compatible with dd and Image Writer for Windows
- (64-bits version) Improved compatibility with 32-bits applications: “multi-arch” and ia32-libs allow the installation of 32-bit applications on 64-bit systems
- Designed to be very usable offline
New Change log -

PS: Java was removed from the Ubuntu repositories (blame Oracle), so I included OpenJDK. I know some of you need the original Java to use some banking sites, etc… I will try to re-add the original Java client in Super OS 12.04.
