If you want to develop apps without using a pro version of windows and Hyper-V you can deploy your apps to a physical device.

The Windows Phone 8 emulator is a special Hyper-V image.

you can use a virtual machine to deploy windows phone 8 OS. My laptop processor does not support hyper-v so, I've installed win phone 8 on a virtual machine. I found this link helpful.. check it out: How to use Windows Phone 8 Emulator without Hyper-V
