My first impressions of VoiceOver.

Most of the common menu commands have keystroke shortcuts.  But try this:  Control-F2 to get to menu bar.  Tap a letter to jump to main menu that starts with that letter.  (Should you have two menus that start with the same letter, then type two letters.)  Down arrow to open menu, letter to jump to sub menu item.  These keyboard shortcuts work WITHOUT VoiceOver running.

Tab, Option-Tab, and arrow keys work most places.  Sure, for read-only text (like HTML content) you can't get cursor there without VoiceOver, but Windows has the exact same limitation.
