Upgrading 12.04 to 13.04

[Thomas Corwin]

Thank you everyone. I only used he term "upgrading" because I am using the Windows installer "wubi.exe" to use Ubuntu 12.04.2 (which by the way, there are so many graphical errors, it's not even funny). I will try to use what Scott suggested, and upgrade to 12.10 and then 13.04. 

I wanted to upgrade to 13.04 so I could start contributing to the Ubuntu Manual for 13.04. 

Thanks everyone!
