I am looking into developing apps on Windows 8 using my desktop and laptop, which are both running Windows 8 Pro x64. I do not own any physical Windows RT devices. Is there any way to emulate Windows RT on Windows 8 Pro or does Metro handle the compatibility (sort of like Java between Windows and other OSs)?

Also, I have Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate installed.
