Well, for one thing, Microsoft does not plan to add any new features to WinForms after Winforms 2.1. So, if you are building a new application, you might as well move to what they are going to support in the future.

You will, of course. get a number of links (if you search on the internet) on the advantages/features WPF has to offer.
