As far as I know both options are available so you can keep it on
the one you are used to.
I am going to change mine as I always delete the wrong letter when
trying to edit on my Mac.

It's not an objection, it's a statement of fact. I'm gonna have
huge problems supporting this one.

Subject: [macvoiceover] Tip for Snow Leopard: When Moving the Cursor
Hello all,
For you ex-Windows users, Snow leopard has a feature that just might
make your lives a little easier.
If you're used to editing a document in Windows, you'll be used to
the screen readers for that platform speaking everything to the
right of the insertion point. VoiceOver's default behavior, however,
speaks characters the insertion point passes. If you were at the top
of a document and the first word was VoiceOver, for example, you
would hear the capital V, because the insertion point just passed
that character. You would hear the capital V again if you pressed
left arrow, because the insertion point would pass the letter going
in the opposite direction.
In Snow Leopard, there is now a setting that will speak characters
to the right of the insertion point.
Open the VoiceOver Utility by pressing VO-F8.
When you land in the categories table, press V to get to the
verbosity category.
VO-right arrow twice to the text tab, and VO-space to select it.
VO-right arrow until you hear "When Moving the Cursor."
VO-right arrow one more time. You should hear "Speak text the cursor
passes." Press VO-space to open the pop-up button.
VO-down arrow to select speak text to the right of the cursor.
Press VO-Space to select the option and close the pop-up menu.
Press command-Q to quit the VoiceOver Utility.
When you're in a document and move by character, you should now have
the more familiar Windows screen reader behavior. This might not be
to everybody's taste, but I thought it might be useful for some.
Thanks,
Blake
