title: Can Windows phone 8 SDK be installed on a Windows 8 32 bit machine
body: <p>I have been trying to install the Windows Phone 8 SDK on a Windows 8 (x86) machine. But to no avail even though I read somewhere on the site that it will install but I will not be able to run the emulator.</p>
  
  <p>Is Microsoft serious that Win Phone 8 apps can only be developed on 64-bit machines?</p>
