Which do you pick when an individual is both arrogant and an expert?
>do you mind telling me what the difference between a GUI and Application is?
A GUI is a type of interface for interacting with an application. Another interface type would be command-line. Others that come to mind might be an API or a domain specific language.

I'm here to prove you wrong.
I usually think of an "Expert Meanie"... 
hehehe just kidding...
In order to begin learning about Win32 and other programming languages for windows applications, I see C++ knowledge is a must. But after learning C++ is Win32 a completely different language with similarities. I mean would it require learning a different language that is similar to C++ or is Win32 programming just more complex C++ programming?

Win32 programming definetly requires a a bit of experience in C++, but if you get good at C++, you dont have to worry about learning the Win32 API, its easy. The hardest part I would say is just remembering all the function and macro names because theres just so many 
In the Win32 API the switch statement is very commonly used, and its the basic stuff like that which you really need to know.

I need pageviews! most fun profile ever :)

Well, I used to be an "Accomplished Meanie" until that whole TkTkorrovi episode. That pushed me well into the range of expert.

The Win32 API has a strong foundation in C concepts, so even if you know C++, you'll find certain conventions to be awkward or even "unnatural" from a C++ perspective. MFC was designed as a C++ wrapper for parts of the Win32 API to fix that. I'd say that C knowledge is a must, but I say that for everything.

Win32 is a library of functions and types that you can use from C++. And yes, it's very different, conceptually, from the basics that you're learning now, which likely uses a command-line interface.
