As long as nobody works on it, i.e. forever.

I don't update software without a reason. Only when something 
bugs me.

A have linux mint 12 installation with mint4win (wubi), on linux 
mint forums I was told, that updating from the latest repository 
won't work. I would be grateful, if you explain, how to upgrade 
it to the latest version. Yeah, theoretically it should be able 
to just overwrite files on disk without paying much attention to 
disk nature.
