I would say Win32. Winforms is mostly a thin wrapper over Win32.
However things get more complicated if you take into account WPF 
(completely new written from scratch UI library which makes your 
app look a bit different and start in just 25 seconds ;) ) and 
Win 8 Metro UI, again based on different mechanisms and having 
completely different look and feel.
