How will you test those apps? By installing a second OS no doubt. Why not run visual studio inside that, perhaps with vmware or parallels?

I guess I don't understand what sort of developer workflow you can have building windows apps and not actually running windows, even if it's just in a vm.

I'll refer you to my other answer to this same question.

Building in a VM is pretty slow.

I do a ton of Windows dev in a VM. It's not that bad.

Yeah, I totally agree with you.
