If you're just getting used to Windows 7, then it may be time to pull out the diary and pencil in a date in 2012 for the upgrade to its successor, unsurprisingly codenamed Windows 8.The news that the next version of Microsoft's flagship operating system will arrive in 2012 comes from the Microsoft Kitchen fansite, which has obtained a roadmap showing the Redmond giant's plans.Windows Server?Apparently, Windows 8 will fit with Microsoft's plans to keep significant OS releases four years apart. The previous major release seems to be not Windows 7, but Windows Server 2008, we're supposed to believe.While the roadmap is almost certainly the genuine article, the fact that Windows Vista doesn't even appear on the diagram suggests it's aimed at the enterprise IT buyers and has a point to make in making Microsoft look reliable and punctual with its OS releases.Related Stories

In an unusually pessimistic move, French game developer Gameloft has said it isn't terribly keen on creating new titles for Android phones.Although the platform is relatively immature, with few handsets available so far, Gameloft says it's already unhappy with the infrastructure in place for it to sell its products.Nobody making money"[The Android Market] is not as neatly done as [the App Store] on the iPhone. Google has not been very good to entice customers to actually buy products. On Android nobody is making significant revenue," said the company's finance director, Alexandre de Rochefort.Consequently, Gameloft is reducing its investment in developing Android software and looking elsewhere.While iPhone titles accounted for 13 per cent of Gameloft income in the last financial quarter, Android games brought in 400 times less, according to de Rochefort.Related Stories
