Since you're actually running OS X illegally per your original post (Mac OS X Guest on Windows 8 with Apple Keyboard) I'm not inclined to provide you with an answer since I know you're violating the Apple SLA and therefore helping you while knowingly doing so still constitutes a violation of the VMware Community Terms of Use.
I will say that since VMware does not support the running of OS X under VMware Player/Workstation I can't answer that question as I've never run it under VMware Player/Workstation so what it will do under VMware Fusion on a Mac is irrelevant since you're not actually doing it with VMware Fusion on a Mac and doing it in violation of Apple's SLA under VMware Player/Workstation.
