If I install Mac OS in a virtual environment (VMware) on my Windows computer, will I be able to install Xcode in the virtual environment and use it to develop iOS applications ?

More specifically, will it be possible to run the simulator in VMware? Will it behave as good as on a normal MAC computer?

Yes, it will. But there may be some license issues (You can only install a copy of MAC OS in a virtual environment if you do own a license). You may also encounter some difficulties installing MAC OS on VMWare. But once you get past them, Xcode and the iPhone simulator should work fine.

You can look at this article for instructions on how to install Mountain Lion in VMWare:
