- s/Feisty/Ubuntu 7.04/g (I fixed the most prominent instance, in a section
  header)

- Instructions for upgrading need to be step-by-step, and a single set of
  instructions (not alternatives).  Folks who prefer the terminal will be
  able to intuit what to do.

- Fast user switching should explain the benefit of the feature: it's useful
  for multi-user systems, such as in families, where several people share
  the same computer

- Likewise for Firefox plugins.  Why does it matter?

- Likewise for dynamic screen configuration - specific benefits.  This makes
  projectors just work for many folks, e.g.

- "NTFS Writing" should be replaced with something less technical; lead with
  the benefit (read and write files on your Windows partition)

- "tasks" (as in server tasks) is jargon; I suggest we call these
  installation profiles or similar (agree with Rick)
