I thought the only 'difference' was the timeframe of availability, but apparently not:

One major difference between adult and embryonic stem cells is their different abilities in the number and type of differentiated cell types they can become.

Scientists believe that tissues derived from embryonic and adult stem cells may differ in the likelihood of being rejected after transplantation.
