DO you mean type a into a dropdown list and have it filtered, like a winforms combo box?

I am pretty sure they would like the ability to be able to filter on multiple Categories via a dropdown combobox.

Would tags be a better solution? e.g. you can optionally add the tags in a textbox, seperated by a space? e.g. BLUE RED YELLOW RAINBOW would add 4 tags to an article.

Tags would be a great feature but would not replace a well designed Category/Subcategory system. For wide open and social networking, Tags would make sense. In a enterprise environment the categories and subcategories could be broken down by departments, and categories like helpdesk, Hardware, Software etc. that need to be predefined. Even possibly limiting editing by category. For example only someone in Finance would be able to edit "Finance" categories/subcategories. If you look at the number of suggestions, comments and feature requests related to categories I think you can see that they are hot. People relate to them.
