Mashable compares MovableType 4 and WordPress 2.2 so you don't have to
For bloggers both old and new, a choice of blogging tool (or a switch) is a crucial step to make while building the empire. There are of course a boatload of choices, from Drupal, to Blogger and even the lightweight Textpattern, but for the serious blogger that needs every ounce of power and customizability from their platform of choice, WordPress and Movable Type are the reigning kings across the web. They're both very mature products, and while WordPress has been open source from the start, Movable Type recently joined that party as well with a vastly updated UI and a strong set of features straight out the gate.

#1: Sure, but that necessarily mean their comparison is skewed - I'd say their comparison was pretty level headed. WordPress has much more of a reputation and a community following, due in part to its open source nature and extreme hackability. That makes a huge, huge difference in terms of the extra tools available to hack the site to do whatever you need.
