You can modify the installation files to allow it to be installed on Windows 7.
Here are the modified setup files for WP8 SDK 9900:

  1. Run InstallWP8SDK.bat to start the installation!
  2. Download: http://www5.zippyshare.com/v/67777536/file.html

Have fun developing on the good old Windows 7.

No, Windows 8 64-bit and Visual Studio 2012 are required.
Windows 8 Pro is also required to run the emulator (along with a processor that supports SLAT).
