Drupal has a higher initial learning curve then Joomla but once done it tends to be more flexible. If you just want a blog, use WordPress as Drupal is significantly not really a single user blog. On the using front, all Warner Brothers and Sony Musics artists sites are have been built on Drupal for the last year now as various other diverse types of sites *.
* reference http://www.drupalsites.net/ http://buytaert.net/tag/drupal-sites Drupal's biggest weakness is in file handling. There are various add on modules that are available but if you need flexible advanced file handling then don't go with Drupal. As to the security side, Drupal has taken security seriously for a few years now and has a dedicated team, an announce list and disclosure policy. If you want built in default wiki style behavior for people to write and build collaborative documents online, then Drupal can work for you. Ping me off list if you want. Oh, I run Drupal on windows myself. With the new IIS7 url rewrite, as soon as I can, I intend to write up the install/config guide for the iis.net site on how to leverage that.
