Hi Jeremy,
I guess you are wondering if you can develop for IOS without having a mac (on a windows machine).
Practically no. Sorry. I also wondered the same and decided to not develop for IOS for now.
You can install, unofficially, Mac OS on PCs, called hackintoshes.
And you can run Mac OS in a VM. But I believe you need a licenced Mac, to be able to put your app to store.
Android is great in this respect.
You can develop on Windows, Linux, Mac OS.
Unfortunately, MS started imitating and even going to more extreme than Apple now.
To develop for Windows 8 App Store, you need to have a Windows 8 Machine with latest Visual Studio, earlier versions can not develop for Windows 8 Store...
To develop for Phone 8 also You need windows 8 with VS 2012.
