![]() I'm not so sure about compatibility for long term development, but in last september, I remembering trying the Windows Phone 7.1beta SDK on VirtualBox (I'm using mac SL), a free virtual machine from oracle (previously by Sun) and it works well there. ![]() Dual-booting into Windows (using Boot Camp on OSX) is stil the recommended method of developing for the Windows platform, especially if you want to use Hyper-V guest VM's. Note: Running Windows & Hyper-V inside a VM will be slower than running natively. the Windows Phone 8 Hyper-V-based emulator) in VMWare5 or Parallels desktop 5: Here's a guide to how to run Visual Studio 2012 & Windows 8 SDK (inc. This is particularly useful for those wanting to develop against the Windows Phone 8 SDK which runs Windows Phone 8 guest VM's on Hyper-V. VMWare5 & Parallels Desktop 8 now support running Hyper-V guest VM's. Of course, the chances of the emulator then working as expected with no residual issues is as close to nil as makes no difference ) If you want to have the emulator run from within a different VM to the one MS provides, then you're into the realm of extracting images, toggling bits and trying to tack it into your VM of choice. The WinPhone7 (and WinPhone8) emulator is itself a VM and few (if any) general-purpose VM's will host another VM infrastructure, which is why it crashes Parallels etc.
