The advice below is wholly unnecessary, and, in fact, various versions of R
can coexist without problems (and are designed to do so).

I just upgraded to 2.14.0 on Windows via the simple binary install process,
copied old libraries over (unnecessary if you do not wish to keep old
versions around -- just use .libPaths() to point to the library tree)  ran
the update packages options from the packages menu.

Pretty simple! (Thanks Duncan M.)
