Hi Nitesh,
In regards to your comments, some of my edits are wrong but let me explain a few of your requests to fix:
#61,#373, #494, : Lists are done in the following format: X, Y, and Z. There is always a comma between and and the prior item in the list when there is 3 items. When it is more than three you do not use "and" and simply list: X, Y, Z, A, B.
#472 : I was mistaken as you can take the DVD Image as an ISO and flash it via a USB drive which would ideally be the same media.
#573, #20: Misread the line, whoops ;-)
#47: Typo, will fix, as for the rest I will also look into.
Thanks for your feedback

line #8 - IIRC, there was already a discussion about this quite sometime ago. The word "makes" is in regard to the word "team" which is singular and hence "makes" is appropriate.
line #20 - "Kubuntu" will be shown twice with this change.
line #21 - Changing from variable string to fixed string "Kubuntu" might not be appropriate.
line #47 - Just a typo - should be "piece" instead of "pieace"
line #61 - The comma after the word "Windows" is not required
lines #127 & 128 - I guess "&menuk3b;" does the same thing as suggested by Steven
line #209 - Just my opinion, but the word "similar" is more appropriate than "depicted" as it is possible that the user might see a little different dialogue box
line #331 - Again just my opinion, but the word "similar" is more appropriate than "close to".
lines #339-346 - Is that the place holder for the section on IRC? In that case, it would be inappropriate to delete them from the oneiric version right now as someone might take up writing that section.
line #363 - the "s" in "Services" should NOT be capital
line #373 - why is the word "and" not required?
line #472 - KDE games are not installed when installing Kubuntu using any installation media. That is why DVDRom is specifically mentioned and the next sentence differentiates between DVD and CD installation media.
line 494 - why comma after the word "text"?
lines #548-550 - why specific references to 10.04. The user might not have even seen 10.04 version.
line #573 - Again "Kubuntu" will be repeated in final output.
@Steven - Your attention to details is appreciated! :)
