Apparently there is no support for XP when it comes to WP7 development (even though visual studio 2010 still works on xp). As I do most of my work on linux now, I think it is a bit wasteful to go out and buy windows 7 just for the WP7 sdk.
My question: If I upgrade my xp install to the windows 8 consumer preview (which seems to be free), will I be able to install and use the windows phone SDK?
I read all kind of stories on the internet, some say it does, other it doesn’t.
Yes, Windows Phone development is supported on Windows 8 CP. You will have to download the 7.1.1 update and install it on top of the 7.1 SDK for the emulator to work, though.
