Migrating MOSS 2007 Sites to SharePoint 2010 

Happy New Year !
This will be the year of SharePoint 2010.
 
Having spent a few days migrating MOSS 2007 sites to SharePoint 2010.  I am impressed the ease at which this can be done - as long as you follow a few basic rules.
 
1.  Make sure that your code, site definitions, webtemp files and other required artefacts are deployed (hopefully using a WSP file) BEFORE you migrate any content.
 
2.   Use the powershell script cmdlet Mount-SPContentDatabase to migrate your content database(s) from MOSS 2007 to SP 2010.  This gives a running % of how far it has got.  Better than the old ststadm command addcontentdatabase which told you very little.
 
3.  Just in case do an IISRESET /noforce.
 
4.  Navigate to your new site and wait a few seconds and your new site come up.
 
5.   Add in the new SP 2010 ribbon as described in :_
 
6.  Test the new site - alot.
 
There you have it.
