It is pretty easy to get around the menu options in Windows just with your keyboard alone. For example, hold onto Alt+F and you've opened the File menu for that program.

I read the question, understood the question, and know the answer.

... and that very command to change focus is in the link I posted. I'm not going to spoon-feed someone who is too lazy to read or has a snotty attitude toward those who try to help.
From Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts, as posted earlier:
Control-F1 Toggle full keyboard access on or off
Control-F2 Move focus to the menu bar
