I've always been interested in the drow culture and lifestyles. What I have found is that the language differs slightly from Elvish, but that's only to be expected after so long separated from the High Elves.

Also, there are many stories about another drow who turned from his past and returned to the surface, Drizzt Do'Urden. His father Zaknafein Do'Urden also despised drow ways, but was too afraid to leave.

Drow society ia much more competitive, but that, also, is to be expected-evil beings find it *much* harder to 'get along'.

Most of the rest of what I know applies primarily to the Drow of the Forgotten Realms, but this much at least is universally true.
