Answer 3

For development of XNA/WP7 on Win8: Install Windows 8, then Visual Studio 2012, then Windows Phone 8 SDK, ensure windows updates are installed (as Nov 2012 had some great App Store updates). Then, port your XNA code across and create a new project to get the DLL references you need. The DLLs will exist in the Silverlight 4 folders but not to worry, it all works once you have WP8 SDK !! The emulator runs great too! This is the process for XNA code into VS2012 that works.

You can get the SDK from here: https://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk

NOTE: The XNA games will ONLY work on WP7 devices. You need MonoGame or similar to port to Win8 devices.
