In an announcement at WordCamp San Francisco, Matt Mullenweg, the founder of WordPress, he announced that the WordPress version that most people use and the version that many professional companies and larger sites use (MU, Multiple-User) will be merging.

Apart from the fact that many people who use the traditional version find it easy to create additional blogs, it is sometimes obtrusive when you want to easily add more blogs (at subdomains or folders) without having to run the install scripts or manage them from completely different admin areas. The single install is what will help more people who previously wanted to use that feature to use WordPress without having to worry about converting to the MU version in the future.

At this point, it appears as though many details surrounding the conversion profess are unclear. Whether you would have to do a manual conversion (replacing some files) or if this would be completely built-in is up in the air. What we do know is that WordPress as we know it is becoming more of a complete content management system than ever before.
