I really want to rollback W8 but I'd like to have an option to develop for Windows Store (for example I might buy Windows Surface and use it as the testing environment but keep dev on W7).. Is it possible?
When I say an app I mean C# / XAML.
According to Develop Windows Store apps using Visual Studio 2012, you cannot do this.
Windows Store app development in Visual Studio is supported only on
Windows 8. Windows 7 is not supported.
Although Windows store app development only supported in Windows 8 but you can always install Windows 8 in VM like Virtual Box to get the job done. Also you can install Windows 8 to a VHD so you don't have to partition your hard drive. Here are the instructions on that.

With the free Xamarian with Visual Studio does a Windows Developer using a Windows Machine have to buy Iphones, Ipads & Andoid devices to convert c# Windows into IOS or Android? When trying to create C# from withing Visual Studio / Xamarian it is asking me to pair a mac that I do not have. Is it mandatory to use physical devices rather than emulators? Thank You for this opportunity!
You do not need an Android or iOS device for development, although obviously building apps without being able to test them on real devices is not ideal.
For iOS, you must have a Mac to act as a build host when using Visual Studio.
For iOS, you need a Mac at least.
The Android emulators is OK for any other OS.
For Windows Phone 8, you need a Windows 8+ PC.

I want to develop windows phone app for one of my client. I see there are 2 ways to do it i.e. Windows Phone Silverlight and Windows Runtime(Universal App). People are more favoring Windows Runtime but i also read that it will not work on Windows Phone 8 devices but Windows Phone Silverlight App will work. So i am very confused, whether to go ahead with Windows Runtime and ignore Windows Phone 8 devices or go with Windows Phone Silverlight and target Windows Phone 8 devices as well?
The most important question to answer is: what are the requirements of your client? If they demand the app to run on Windows Phone 8.0 devices, then there's no choice to be made.
If you can choose, then there are several other questions to be asked:
Do you have experience in either WP Silverligth or Windows Runtime that you want to leverage?
Do you want to add in a Windows desktop app as well? If so, pick Windows RT since that's supported on both platforms.
Do you need any particular functionality only supported in WP SL or WP RT?
Do you need any of the newer API's available in 8.1 or even 10?
Without an answer to the questions above, you can't make the correct decision.
To conclude, this is the marketshare as of Oct 25, 2015 according to AddDuplex. With less than 10% running on 8.0, I don't see it as a 'must target' version if you're app would be better of running on 8.1.

I'm using MS Visual Studio 2013.
i wonder if somehow can install application on phone(to use application on phone when user want's?
i know with ms visual studio can connect to windows phone, but how can install application?
You can connect device to the machine.when successfully connected, the device will be listed in visual studio.
From visual studio,select the device instead of simulator.
just deploy the solution
this will install your app into the device.
You can distribute Windows apps (I think this is what you want), throw the windows store.
Other methods are to develop ORM software or enterprise software.
Have a look here for more detailed infos.
I assume you want to deploy your own application to a test device.
First you have to make sure that you have installed the correct WindowsPhone SDK (depending on your phone OS).
https://dev.windows.com/de-de/develop/download-phone-sdk
Get a developer licence. If you are trying to deploy your application Visual Studio will give you a hint how to get one.
Create a project for windows phone or a universal app, something you can put on your device.
Connect your device and press "Start" in Visual Studio, the application gets compiled, deployed and started automatically.

Does Win8 App Store accept application written in c++?
I develop wp7 app using c#, and plan to develop app for win8 metro app.
Just wonder if win8 app store accept app using c++ or only accpet app develop by c# and javascript
I welcome any comment
Yes, the Windows 8 store will accept any valid metro applications, including those written in the languages Microsoft provides code examples for!
There are plenty of helpful resources to get you started, on MSDN Channel 9 (this link confirming that the Windows 8 store accepts C++ applications), as well as the full documentation for Metro-style applications in C++.

Improve this question
Is it possible to accomplish that?
How should I do that?
The phone specs:
Nokia N900.
OS: Maemo 5 (Linux based).
My PC OS: Win7
No, it has the wrong operating system.
You can use Mono.
You will need to write the application specifically for Maemo; it cannot run WP7 applications.
Look, you Phone OS is Maemo, your app is for Windows.
You forgot the Windows Phone version but never mind, it's not going to work.
The closest thing would be a Mono implementation, but there isn't one compatible with WinCE (or WP7).
