What are "WinForms"? There's no reference to it in VS 7, but I see some code
samples on the Web using a System.Winforms namespace. As far as I can tell,
they're no different than Windows.Forms.

Looking at the first few hits on the net, System.Winforms looks like it
was the name for System.Windows.Forms in the .NET betas.

Well, I ran into a job ad that explicitly calls for experience in
"WinForms". Is that just shorthand for Windows Forms?

Hi,

Yes, WinForms == Windows Forms (smart client development). WinForms was the
original name. About the time that Visual Studio .NET 2002 was RTM, the
name "officially" became Windows Forms -- though some persist in saying
WinForms.
