1The most we will be able to give you is a "yes" or "no". Only the developers can answer the why, or give you an estimate on Mac compatibility. – gunr2171 Oct 01 '15 at 13:20

Yes, you can develop Windows 10 apps on a Mac Book, but you will need to have Windows installed. I use a Mac Book pro, and I have three ways of running windows:
1) Installed via Bootcamp, which Apple provides
2) Installed via a virtualized piece of software, like Parallels, which allows me to boot into OS X, then into a Windows environment.
3) If you have an Azure subscription, you can create an Azure VM with Visual Studio already installed, and that way you can do development from any machine. Here is a tutorial on how to do that.
If you need a free Azure account, you may be eligible for BizSpark. This can pay for the bill for your Azure VM running Visual Studio.

Just as you need a Mac to build for iOS, you need a Windows Machine to build for Windows (even with the iOS Bridge).
However, unlike with Apple, Microsoft will let you use a virtual machine.
I have a MacBook running Windows via Parallels. There's also a free version of Visual Studio available. So it's definitely possible to build for Windows 10 on a Mac.
