One of the better comparisons of the features and capabilities of Drupal, Joomla! and Wordpress I've run across...
"A comparison of the capabilities and features of the latest releases (as of September 2008) of Joomla 1.5, Drupal 6, and Wordpress 2 with respect to 1) functionality -- multi-user publishing, layout and design, search engine optimization (SEO), mobile device support, and internationalization/localization; 2) extensibility -- the general climate and quality of third-party extension development for each platform; 3) support; 4) specific kinds of websites -- media/publishing sites, community/social sites, eCommerce sites..."

Newlocalmedia.com
That link leads to a website called newlocalmedia. This seems to host full version of the story. However it blocks access to browsers below IE7.
Newsflash - we live in a corporate world. Nice and all as IE7+ may be not everyone gets to choose their browser. Some folks have to wait for IT dept rollouts.
Blocking content to those folk is a short sighted strategy. I can't read the article. I'm going to go somewhere else. Pity cos I was interested.
Old Unreliable IE6
I have to agree that it is ironic and it should be recognized that a third of IE users are still using IE 6. For this site, I do my best to make the pages as compatible as I can for all browsers.
Having said that, I personally have little respect for IT departments of companies that still have not moved to newer browsers. In the past, IT departments said it was an issue of time, money, and compatibility. However, IT departments have had more than enough to upgrade from this eight year old dinosaur which even Microsoft recommends for security reasons that users make the upgrade.
Perhaps, if your company still has the need to use IE6 for internal applications they should also consider adding on an alternative browser for better designed sites. Let's face it, we live in a world that is no longer geared toward designing pages as if it was the 2001.
wishful thinking
I make a lot of money with people that have attitudes like yours. Companies spend millions of dollars with vertical software that works perfect with IE6.
IE7 & 8 etc carry so much overhead that hardware is being wasted on M/S products instead of vertical packages that actually help the bottom line. You should spend your time lobbing M/S to allow multiple versions of any package to exist on their OS. like the Unix world does.
business does not exist to buy all the MS crap just because its available.

I have worked with Wordpress
I have worked with Wordpress and Drupal so far and have to say that WP is much easier to understand and to work with. If you have good knowledge of PHP Drupal surely is a good choice, for small and basic projects however WP is better. But just my two cents.

Link doesn't work anymore
Unfortunately, the link doesn't work anymore. I would have been interested in the benefits of Drupal compared to Wordpress. Currently, I am only using Wordpress.
Alternative Story
Yes, very unfortunate that the link is no longer valid. At the same time, I'm not sure the validity of two year old comparision between the three. CMS Report did cover a similar comparision between Wordpress, Drupal, and Joomla! around that same time as the story above.
