Back in 1996, Steve Jobs declared, "The PC wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago."

Given this statement, why was there was no surrender when Steve took over at Apple? Apple continued making computers and developing a new operating system. Apple Computers released the iPod, and developed the iTunes Store. They branched out into their own retail business. They dropped the word computer from their name and release a phone.

If the PC war ended, why hadn't Jobs shut the doors and given the money back to investors, like Michael Dell suggested. What new war is being contested?
The PC vs. Console wars of the 2000s ended with consoles (xbox) winning. MS focused on wal-mart boxes while apple made phones (that took over the internet).
