Hello, I, for one, have always enjoyed using VoiceOver more than JAWS. Kartik, I see where you're coming from, because even I was initially unable to use VoiceOver as effectively as I am able to use it now. JAWS is very different from VoiceOver, so you will take some time to get used to it. Otherwise, the Mac is generally more stable than Windows, so VoiceOver rarely gets stuck anywhere.
That being said, you cannot use applications like Powerpoint and Excel on the Mac, so you'll have to buy their equivalents from the Mac App Store. Most of these applications are on the expensive side and are also not as accessible as MS Office applications. Feel free to contact me off-list if you wish to discuss this in greater detail.
