Just to correct a few of the previous answers. 100 Hour inspections are NOT required for rental or instruction where the instructor does not provide the aircraft. The only time a 100 Hour is required is when a person, other than a required crewmember, will be carried for hire. So, banner tow and tow-plane operators do not need 100 hour inspections, even though they are commercial operations. This is explaned in CFR 14 FAR Part 91.409
The annual and 100 hour inspections is similar is scope and detail and this is listed in CFR 14 FAR Part 43 Appendix D. However, only an A&P mechanic with Inspection Autorization can perform an annual inspection. This is detailed in CFR 14 FAR Part 65.95.
The 100 Hour/Annual program can be replaced with other approved inspection programs, progessive inspections, or continuois inspections. This usually only occurs in larger turbine powered airplane.
I have included an article from the NBAA on inspections as well.
Edit: Annual inspections are not required for all aircraft. 91.409 lists several other approved inspection programs that do not require an annual such as the progressive, continuous, and an administrator approved program.

RE:
What is the difference between a 100 hour inspection and an annual inspection?

About the only difference is the interval. All aircraft are required to be inspected once every 12 months. All aircraft used in flight instruction must be inspected every 100 hrs, regardless of the elapsed time.
Large airliners are inspected on a rotating basis so that a complete annual is performed every year. There is so many things to check, they would be out of service for a month or more if all was done at the same time. They are on a set schedule approved by the FAA.

100 Hour Inspection

The only difference is that the 100hr can be done by a regular 'Airframe & Powerplant' technician (A&P), but an annual can only be done by an A&P with 'Inspection Authority', otherwise known as an 'IA'.
100hr inspections are needed for any airplane that is being used commercially, even a rental Cessna 150.
Annual inspections are mandatory for all aircraft

The person who signs it off. The inspection is the same, the AD notes complied with on both, the scope is the same, only difference is an IA signes for an annual while any properly rated mechanic can do a 100 hr.

Not all that much. An annual checks a few more things, but many shops basically do the equivalent of an annual for the 100 hour. I know when I had my C172 on the line, they did it that way. The only difference was the annual had to be signed off by someone with a special certification (can't remember what the name of it was), while the 100 hour could be signed off by an A&P.
Edit: IA, that's it.. couldn't remember who had to sign off the annual.

The 100 hour inspections are usually for larger aircraft such as airliners and business jets. They are conducted as their name implies, every 100 hours of operation. Most aircraft of these types have ongoing inspections throughout the year which replace the annual, or more accurately are used in lieu of the annual.
