StandaloneZODB collects various parts of the Zope infrastructure into
a single place so that ZODB can be used separately from Zope.  I
imagine you could accomplish the same thing by putting one or more
Zope directories on your PYTHONPATH.  

There isn't any other difference between the two, except those caused
by the vagaries of release schedules.  Since Zope and StandaloneZODB
are released on different schedules, one will usually have more recent
copies of the modules.

We do plan to produce a binary distribution for Windows.  We hoping to
do a beta release of StandaloneZODB in October, which will include
Windows binaries.
