Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 are two separate products and require 2 separate SDKs to develop for. Windows Phone 8 runs on mobile devices only, while Windows 8 runs on desktops, laptops and tablets.
All you need to do to build Windows 8 apps is a machine with Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012 installed on it. You can use the 90 day evaluation for Windows 8 Enterprise with the Express (free) edition of Visual Studio to build such apps. If you are a student you get full version of Visual Studio for free via the Dreamspark program.
