Hi jovin,

MS' one comes with .net 1.1, while Oracle's own you can download from
http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/windows/odpnet/index.html
They are similiar, however Oracle's provider includes few more features.
You can find more info:

Oracle's ODP.Net provider only works with Oracle 9i and
later client software installed on the PC that needs to
communicate with an Oracle server (8i or later).

Microsoft's System.Data.OracleClient provider works fine
with Oracle 8 and later client software and will even talk
to an Oracle 9i server via that 8/8i client software.

I can't address specific feature comparisons, just the
above minimum system requirement differences.

In my Windows Forms application that I'm writing, I have
to use the Microsoft Oracle provider due to company
standards of Oracle 8.1.7 (8i R3) client software
installed on most company client PC's. I'm sure we'll
gradually move up to Oracle 9.0.2 (9i R2) at some point,
but for now, I just can't count on anything more than 8i
client software, so that means no ODP.Net for me.
