There is no difference, because it comes from the eastern part of the world its name has been pronounced for hundreds of years "wing chun" aka. ving tsun, wing tsun, wing tsung, wing chung etc. but nobody knows how to type it in English or so. So there shouldn't be no difference between those.

WingTsun is an adapted branch of Wing Chun and was founded by Leung Ting, a closed-door student of the former Great Grandmaster Yip Man. For technical differences see: leungting.com

Actually, both systems are functional and can equally serve similar situations. What matters is how you train, by "any good" you must mean for defending yourself? No system can defend you, only you can defend you and only after intense training with proper understanding and daily maturation.

I have practiced Wing Chun for 38 years, also I have two black belts in Karate (USA Goju Ryu, Okinawan Shorinji Goju Ryu). I find some similarities in their methods and I view that all systems share certain Universal Combat Motions and Principles.

When it all comes down to it, it really is the quality of the practitioner that determines if they are smart enough and skilled enough to survive an altercation.

the main difference would be wing chun is all about keeping perfect form in small detail to deliver the maximum amount of energy to your opponent without wasting any of it while the principles of jeet kune do form is much looser in favor of being more flexible and ready to adapt to any situation it is said you have to be "like water" but its important to remember that jeet kune do is based on a lot of wing chun principles which is evident in both styles heavy dependence on the straight punch. wing chun also favors a straight kick to the sheen's and knees while jeet kune do uses a a lot of hook kicks.

Who would win Ip Man or Bruce Lee?

Bruce would win the fight because Bruce studied more martial arts than Ip Man. Ip Man was a grandmaster in Wing Chun, so in a fight with Wing Chun rules, Ip Man would have a greater chance to win. However, in a fight without rules, Bruce Lee may be more likely to survive. By the way, Bruce Lee and Ip Man are both great fighters!
