I am looking for a free Richtext editor that functions like the TinyMCE editor but for a winforms app

The most important part is that it must implement a editor toolbar so that the user does not need to learn a markup language

What you're talking about has been around for a looong time.

I found an old, free control on softpedia. It doesn't install into the VS2008 toolbox, but you can do that manually, or configure Visual Studio to make it happen automagically.

Here's a look at the designer experience. Looks like Word 2000, probably because of the time it was published.

Craig Andera posted one in 2004, too. Haven't tried it, and haven't seen a picture of it.

DevExpress has a commercial one.

There are many, many others.
