Neither is newer than the other, they have both been cooking for roughly the same period of time.
HOWEVER they are totally different things :
WPF == Windows Presentation Foundation
WCF == Windows Communication Foundation
WPF is the direct replacement for WinForms. WCF is a framework for talking to webservices, it replaces Remoting. I could waffle for hours on this, but that is a short answer for you 🙂
