Is there any difference between the vanilla PHP version and the Microsoft version?

I am going to install PHP on Windows Server 2012 with IIS 8.0. I was about to download from windows.php.net, as I did before. However, I noticed that MS has its own website at http://php.iis.net/

These two sites offer the same thing, or did MS change the code in its PHP application? I would like to stay with pure PHP if they offer a different build.

Does anyone have any experience with an MS proposal?

I believe that this is the same PHP. You can see the official php.net documentation on IIS installations here:

http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php

You can even create or install the PHP you want and link it to IIS manually (so it will be the same PHP as you anywhere else). Using MS installer could they fake PHP? Yes. Did they do it? I seriously doubt it.

One of the main differences is the extensions available in IIS. Like the way they offer Windows Cache instead of APC. However, I believe that in most cases all extensions are for extensions.

http://php.net/manual/en/book.wincache.php

So you can find a completely different ecosystem of extensions, but the main language looks exactly the same.
