The difference between them, from the perspective of setting filesystem
permissions, is the same as the difference between a group and any member of
that group. If you allow "Everyone" execute access to a file, the
IUSR_MACHINENAME will have execute access to that file, since it (and every
other account) is a member of "Everyone".
I would strongly recommend avoiding the use of "Everyone" when setting
filesystem permissions, though. Use "Authenticated Users" instead. The
IUSR_MACHINENAME account is also a member of that group.

It's a necessary quality for configuring servers, unfortunately.
