īesides, if you want to submit it to the microsoft, maybe you can try to submit your feedback on #Running Windows Phone 8 emulator on Mac.

I'm teaching a class of over 60 students how to develop Windows Phone Apps. It is a real pain having to shut down Windows, boot into the Mac OS, then boot back into Windows every time you want to use VS2013 to develop a Windows Phone APP. This doesn't sound like a difficult issue to resolve but it has been around since 2012. Surely the emulator can detect if it is running on a MacBook and do a better job of starting up. The problem is you have to do this EVERY time you start the laptop. You have to first boot into the Mac OS, select the BootCamp drive as the boot device then restart and boot into Windows.
There is a workaround but it is a real pain. The issue is that the emulator looks for Hyper-V to be enabled in the BIOS. Is it possible to ask the Visual Studio Windows Phone 8 Emulator team to create a fix for the Hyper-V issue when running VS 2013 on a MacBook Pro?
