Is じゃないです equally correct as じゃありません?

Both have the same meaning ("did not come") and according to my Japanese co-workers both are acceptable while they can't define the difference.

What is the (possibly obscure) difference in meaning between these two sentences?

  • @sawa, As I said, the question was not duplicate, the answer was. Otherwise, we would have to change the original question to be general enough to encompass this question as well. – dainichi Feb 24 '12 at 08:37
