How to install Xcode on Windows 8? [duplicate]

Hi I've recently become interested in developing applications for iOS. I've taken classes in Objective-C before, and we've always used Xcode to build and run our programs. I am a Windows user at home, and I'm not interested in buying a Macintosh. Is there any way to install Xcode on a Windows 8 PC? Any help is appreciated, thanks. :D

You can not install xcode on windows 8 because it requires MAC OS, and Windows and MAC are two different operating system.

To install xcode you have to make VM workstation on your machine and make MAC OS on that or you have to purchase a MAC Machine.

You can also have dual boot on your machine, Keep in mind that dual boot or MAC OS on VM Workstation did not support sound, wifi and some other resources.

As far as I know you cannot install Xcode on a Windows PC - just like you cannot install Visual Studio and develop for Windows on a Mac. The only way I can think of, is if you install MacOS in a Virtual Machine (e.g. http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/07/mountain-lion-virtualbox.html)
