I'd say calling Wordpress a CMS is wrong, it's just a blog system.

Drupal is a real fullsite system.

If you're reading this and trying to decide which one to go for then I'll give you a quick answer:

If you're simply looking to get some content out on to the web, be it a blog or a very basic website then consider Wordpress.

If your goal is to create a website with varied types of content which will be added to on a regular basis then go for Drupal (it will pay dividends once you beat the learning curve)

very good wordpress ,

[CraZy675]

neither use Joomla. Drupal is a joke and Wordpress isn't a CMS it's a blog tool, stated by the core team.

@SwitchRich (it will pay dividends once you beat the learning curve) : very true. even i am new to drupal , have used wp before. but i am in love with it.

haha this is funny!, wordpress is a blog and drupal i a content managment system (framework)

[anang5]

just look @ wordpress's modules. most of them are mostly used for blog entries. the modules and limited and don't even reach 1/4 of drupal or joomla's modules.

Wordpress IS a CMS, like any other blog, portal, board, photogallery system...It's just that WP is a blogging engine, Drupal is a portal, so, like edreel says, you can't compare them, so that video is a non-sense.
