First, the mac is completely different from windows; some things work better, some things do not. You cannot come to the mac expecting it to be just like windows, or you will be disappointed and frustrated.
That said, you do not need to press the vo keys as often as certain podcasts lead you to believe. For instance, to activate a button, checkbox, or similar control in a dialog, you can press space, not vo-space. Pressing enter in a dialog will activate the default button (vo will tell you if a button is default when you move over it). Tab will work similar to windows, moving you around from control to control. If it does not, open system preferences, go to keyboard, and make sure tab navigation is turned on and set how you want it. In menus, you can simply arrow, no need to hold the vo keys down, much like in windows. Speaking of menus, you should go into the vo utility (vo-f8), select navigation in the table, and enable cursor wrapping so that vo will not stop at the end of a menu or dialog but instead loop around to the beginning. Finally, some vo commands have mac equivalents: ctrl-f3 goes to the doc, ctrl-f2 goes to the menu bar, and so on. Note that you may need to press function with any command that uses an f key, if you have a keyboard that has a function key and your mac is set up to require it (again, system preferences > keyboard is where you can change that).
