Product : It's released Development : Proprietary, but with an excellent plugin system so you can add anything you want Platform : Anywhere you can run ASP.NET Database : A lot, VistaDB (default, free), MySql, SQL Server, Access UserBase : Not yet too much, but tens of millions on Community Server. These guys know what they're doing!!! Themes : Not too many, true. But extremely easy to build. If you know HTML you can tweak this until you drop. Installation : 2 minutes on a slow machine, yeah... Price : $0 for personal use Thanks for listening and changing the chart. This chart is a load of bullocks!

Just because WordPress runs in Linux or PHP, that DOESN'T make it better. Just a different platform. Comparing themes against a not yet final product is pathetic and narrowminded. Did WP have 100000 themes on day 1 ? I don't think so. The development row is also stupid. You can develop for Graffiti, the source is available. Just because you CAN'T SEE it doesn't it cannot be done. Userbase is also pathetic when the product just came out. Likewise for price. All in all, a lame review by some narrowminded fanatic fanboy who is scared of some competition. I have never read so much narrowminded opinions…

If it costs 99$, the features don’t matter. Content management system in the classic web sense of the word (e.g. what PhpNuke does).

And its about the features, not the price tag. I would have run WordPress on my blog even if it wasn't free. Heck, even Movable Type is better than graffiti and even they went free recently. Seriously, any application that's solely made to run on IIS sucks... Um, WordPress is also a CMS. And its about the features, not the price tag.

About the "2 minute installation", I don't really know why this even matters. When you're setting up your CMS or blog for a site that'll profit you 500000% the costs it took to start in the future, what's so wrong about a 3 minute difference? (Besides, one click installers exist.) And besides, the damn thing is a CMS! Not a blog!

In addition, many people don't have access to ASP.NET, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows Server 2003 with IIS server since most web hosting companies run Linux and PHP. Adding a Mono Application Server might be a little over the top for most people. The same goes for the supported databases except MySQL which is freely available. Matt,

Either you are wrong, or the website is wrong... to quote from Graffiti sites, 1. "<a href="http://graffiticms.com/support/gettingstarted/install/" rel="nofollow"> Installing Graffiti CMS is very easy</a>, but it does have two requirements: 1. You (or your web host) must be using one of the following operating systems: Windows 2000 Pro, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP Pro, Windows Server 2003, or any version of Windows Vista Home Premium or above. 2. ASP.Net 2.0 must be installed on the computer or server. " 2. "<a href="http://graffiticms.com/support/documentation/database-providers/" rel="nofollow"> Graffiti supports two</a> different database providers." 3. You made the $199 typo, which you later corrected. It's not anyone else's fault you guys made a typo. (and hopefully the code doesn't have typos) 4. "<a href="http://graffiticms.com/faq/" rel="nofollow">Graffiti is currently in Private beta</a>" Just thought you'd like to know why the miscommunication and misunderstanding is happening. Good Luck with your endeavors. Rob Howard,
your comment here is in direct conflict with what your graffiti website states. Either you are wrong, or the website is wrong…

”
2. “ Graffiti supports two different database providers.”
3. You made the $199 typo, which you later corrected. It’s not anyone else’s fault you guys made a typo. (and hopefully the code doesn’t have typos)
4. “Graffiti is currently in Private beta”

Just thought you’d like to know why the miscommunication and misunderstanding is happening.

Good Luck with your endeavors.
