One is C++ library, the other C library ( C++ is more or less retro-compatible with C )... I believe :P

It is like what @visph stated, although iostream.h is can be used for C++,it is slightly more limited and may create bugs

No, iostream isn't "better", is just more appropriate for C++ ( design for him and just him ), when iostream.h is designed for C, but could be used in C++ ( with some risks, by retro-compatibility )
