title: How to develop Windows Phone applications without SLAT
body: <p>I decided to start developing for Windows Phone, downloaded Visual Studio 2013 with Windows Phone SDK and in finishing window installer said that I can`t use emulator because of not SLAT-compatible computer. What should I do?</p>
  
  <p>I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13459692/windows-phone-8-emulator-on-non-slat-machines">Windows Phone 8 Emulator on non-SLAT Machines</a> and now I ask Is it really a solution: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>It works, but not on Windows 8. Windows 2012 server uses hyper-V version without requirement of SLAT.</p>
    
    <p>So:</p>
    
    <ol>
    <li>Windows Server 2012 trial (i use Developer version). </li>
    <li>Installed on physical device - not on VM.</li>
    <li>Install slat-less feature Hyper-V. Standard WP8SDK.</li>
    </ol>
    
    <p>And voila. It worked like a charm. And it's kinda fast. First emulator on list in VS loads about 30 sec. More advanced take longer but not much. Deploying is instant. Give it a try if youre not to buy phone or new computer :)</p>
