I am for one, prefer to have just my home page open whenever I launch Safari. I don't want to see the last page or pages open. A couple of people kept telling me the General tab under Preferences. I just assumed it is the Preferences under Safari. After a lille while, I reread the emails and realized people were telling me the General tab in System Preferences, not Safari Preferences. This will take a bit of getting used to. Having to change that setting in System Preferences will affect other applications as well as Safari. I am not sure if I like this idea. I much prefer to have individual settings for each app. I understand that this version of OS X is closer in functionality to iOS. But this decentralized way of configuring just 1 application will have a lot of people confused.
