Hi,
Choosing Drupal or WordPress would be based on what you want to do with it. If 
it's simple, go with WordPress, because the learning curve will be much smaller.

Frankly, Rick, I think if you're gonna use a cms, u need to use
something that will host on a linux platform. Windows hosting is just
too insecure. Seriously.

Wordpress is also a good choice for a cms. It's accessible & allows
updating-by-owner. The person's site does not have to look like a
blog, either--it's very configurable & quite a bit easier than drupal.
I really do recommend it for those sites where the owners just wanna
update their content easily. It's normally associated w/small sites,
but I think larger concerns, e.g., I think I read NY times, also uses
it.
