[Q] Comparison of Orchard and Drupal?
[Q] Comparison of Orchard and DotNetNuke?

"....
How does Orchard compare with DotNetNuke(DNN)? ...

DNN is a mature and successful .NET-based project, a key partner for Microsoft, and a vital contributor to the .NET open source ecosystem.

Our hope is that new technology investments made by Orchard will serve existing applications like DNN in the long run, and ultimately provide infrastructure and components that our partners can leverage to enrich their own offerings.

Orchard aims to help our .NET partners, not to compete directly with them. Orchard is already working with several partners in the .NET open source space, including DNN, to identify opportunities to work together for mutual benefit.

... Orchard’s extensibility model also presents partners with another vehicle for delivering their solutions and expanding their audience.

SharePoint also provides capabilities beyond CMS including Team Collaboration, Document and Records Management, Business Process Integration and Business Intelligence.
