Updated according to the link by James Hugard

For now F# will not be used much for GUIs because it is not the most important use case for it. From Don Syme's blog:

In this first supported release, our aim has to be to focus on the core strengths of F# for exploratory programming with F# Interactive, programming with data and implementing parallel and asynchronous components.

Although you can theoretically use F# and the standard GUI libraries if you need a GUI you should use VB or C#:

F# users should use the Visual Studio designer tools to generate C# or Visual Basic code and incorporate those components into their F# applications.

In the longer term "presentation-oriented designer tools that generate F# code" are, according to Syme, "definitely feasible".
