It certainly might be easier to learn OS X than to learn Windows. However, if you already know Windows, it's harder to learn OS X than to continue using what you already know. I suspect that for most people who simply use their computers to run productivity applications and the like, there is probably more of a learning curve when switching operating systems than there is for people like us. > if that was true we wouldnt have all these problems on pc > because no one would fall for them and they wouldn't matter. Who are "we"? I know lots of people who don't have these problems. Some of these people are hardly computer-savvy, either. > installing OS X was quite a bit easier than xp and xp isn't > hard.

If you're capable of installing an OS - any OS - you're capable of using a computer safely if you want to. Most people would find the latter much easier than the former. I know plenty of people who wouldn't know where to start with installing an OS, but who are capable of using their computers safely.
