Both syntaxes are correct. They are doing two diferent things. The 
first is the normal way to show a form wich is created at program 
startup.
The second one is the way you can create a new form on the fly. This 
is normally used when you have many forms, too many to have them 
created automatically at program startup. In the project options, you 
can remove a given form from the auto-creation list.
The second way is also used when you need to have more than one 
instance of a window. You can create as many forms as you wants and 
have all them 'run' at the same time. Fairly usefull for a server with 
a form for each client.
