Depends upon whether you count iPads as PCs or not - if you do, then yes, Apple is on the verge of winning the PC war.

I think you're mistaken. There have been around 40 million iPads sold, whereas Windows 7 alone has sold over 400 million copies (released a few months before the iPad). iPad surpassing PC sales would be a heck of an achievement.
Winning the PC war in the sense of becoming the leading PC vendor - overtaking Windows will take another decade. :-)
