Well its hard to say - a lot will depend on how Ubuntu (Canonical) are going to play it. 12.04 (Zorin 6) was to be supported until April 2017, which is still the case but security issues came to light that glibc means that it may not be worth continuing with 12.04. Then Ubuntu came out with 14.04 (Zorin 9) also a 5 year support release 'til 2019 - so if this is a pattern that Ubuntu is following the next LTS may well be in 16.04? Zorin 11? Whilst Ubuntu comes out with new releases every 6 months, Zorin will come out with the most stable release - I think they came out with 8 based on 13.04 (or 13.10 - I can't remember) but each intermediate release is a 'development' release. To upgrade you would need to follow Wolfman's upgrade guide in the Post installation guide here:
