I doubt you'll see that choice in Safari. From the very first iOS it has saved all your open web pages, and I'll be very surprised if that changes. The solution is to close the individual web pages before exiting Safari.

As for other programs, have you used any iOS 4.x devices yet? I don't believe that 4.2 will handle multi-tasking apps any differently than the previous 4.x's. My understanding is that (if the app supports it?) any app you leave will freeze in place, but that there is an additional step that lets you shut down that app entirely.

But even then it's not necessarily the choice of the operating system. Even in 3.x I have some apps, like Stanza, that always open to the exact page I was reading when I closed it and some apps, like Comics(ComicBookLover) that always open to the home screen. I expect individual developers will still control this behavior. Your only way of affecting it will be if you suspend an application or shut it down entirely.
