Mac OS X runs fine on VMWare Fusion, but is not officially supported on other VMWare products. It could have been installed on VMWare Workstation, but I'm not sure how stable it is. See the Official Guest OS Compatibility Guide .

The Mac OS X client cannot be legitimately launched on any VMWare product.

Yes, I ran Mac OS in the WMWare virtual environment on Windows. I would say that exercise is not worth the time. The resulting OS is so massively slow that it is almost unusable. I could see windows slowly draw on the screen.

And MacWare properties (such as drivers) that easily mix host and guest OSs are not available for Mac OS (since this is not supported by the guest due to its ban).

Yes, OS X can be run in a virtualized environment, but the OS X client license prohibits this use. OS X Server can legitimately run in a virtualized environment, but only on a Mac OS X host (not under VMWare on Windows, sorry). We use a VMWare Fusion image running OS X 10.5 Server to test deployments.
