intel core 2 quad 2.40 GHz

where did u dig out that old cpu lawl :)

i used to have it though, its alright for dayz but far from perfect,

u will need a gpu to run dayz (what u gave as pc specs doesnt include a gpu)

and although i am not certain of the following, id say that i dont see a reason for dayz not to run on windows8

If you don't have a GPU it won't work.

but on-topic, I'm running windows 8, works fine just like windows 7...

I just can't get on board with Windows8. I've watched a number of videos about it and it's a real turn off.

The only thing that phases me is this tile bollocks.

Luckily, apparently you can switch it back to the classic desktop format.

Indeed, as a fella that doesn't use facebook or twitter, the fact that they are almost force fed onto your desktop really irks me. Things like "My Photos" or whatever, I know where they are on my PC, I don't need them permanently spammed into my workspace at all times. I have no intention of making my home desktop a touchscreen, so using a touchscreen driven OS just doesn't fly.

I've seen the classic desktop format, but it is without a start menu and I have the sneaking suspicion that every time you boot up you'd have to manually go to the pseudo-classic mode. I'll hold off 'til Windows9, and hopefully they'll see the error of their ways and revert back to something a little more "normal".
