It looks like you are looking for so called 'phonetic' or
transliterated keyboard layout - 'O'-'O', 'A'-'A', etc.

Microsoft does NOT provide such layout at all. It does not provide
an utility to prepare one, either. All Microsoft does is to show
you a picture of a national non-transliterated layout so you
can use it if you don't have a transliterated (phonetic) layout:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/keyboards/keyboards.asp

But there are 3rd party utilities and I made Russian phonetic
layout files for Windows (both 95/98/ME and NT/2000/XP) - see
"Russian Keyboard: standard and phonetic" section of my site.
It's a modifyable layout - if you want to replace some letters,
you can (explained how at the end of the section).
