    Adrian,

    WinFX is Microsoft's new API. It will eventually replace win32. But for the XP and Vista timeframe, it will run on and alongside win32.

    For Vista, MS wants new programs to target WinFX. Going ahead, most of the enhancements will be to WinFX and not win32.

    Homepage link is for a very outdated version but the download link is correct. This is the build which comes with the February CTP (5308) of Vista.
