How to build Windows Phone 8 apps on Windows XP?

Is it possible to build Windows Phone 8 apps on Windows XP ? The SDK seems to require Windows 8.

Is my only option to use Virtual PC with Windows 8 installed on it?

Does Windows 8 apps work on Windows Phone 8 too?

Unfortunelly no because of different .NET frameworks: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj681690%28v=vs.105%29.aspx (Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 platform comparison)

No.

In order to develop Windows Phone8 apps you need to build your code on a Windows8 machine. You can either do this by installing Windows8 on your development machine, or use a virtual machine with Windows8 installed on it.
