Look at the new features for ver. 2 at the apache web site.

Here's the link you need:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/new_features_2_0.html

2.0 has more features, but is too fresh yet, so more problems and
incompatibilities may occur.

Since you're asking this on an "ms-windows" newsgroup, the most
important difference for you to know may be that Apache 2.0 is more
platform-independent and so is better architected for the Windows
environment (see "Better support for non-Unix platforms" in the new
features page referenced earlier). Apache 1.3 runs on Windows, but it
was really designed for Unix and so is not as good a fit for Windows as
the 2.0 product is.
