I'd say also take a look at:
http://www.macfixit.pair.com
http://www.maccentral.com
http://www.macnn.com
And for pc, I haven't really seen something as good as these are for the mac
for news, features and following bug/incompatibility/troubleshooting news. Two
decent sites are:
http://www.ntfaq.com
http://www.sysinternals.com
If someone knows of some pc sites of the quality of the mac ones mentioned
above, please post them as I have seen this request a number of times in a
number of places! Heck, if you know some Windows gurus, show them the mac
sites and ask them what sites are comparable for Windows.
With unix being such a part with MacOS X, would it also be useful to post
some decent unix sites?

Dragging isn't always great as it doesn't always properly 'bless' the system
folder and the drive isn't seen as bootable with boot blocks. I do a minimal
system install on another drive, partition or removable media for an emergency
boot device. Also, as mentioned before, a full backup before the upgrade is
essential, not an option or luxury.
