First of all I have just done a clean installed of Snow Lep on my MBP which was purchased in June this year now when I try to install MS Office 2011 it says that my install needs to be updated to bla bla bla 10.24.2421.41 whatever the number was I have forgot now previously I remember doing 1 or 2 quite large updates for Snow Lep when I search for updates they are not there? Ive done the odd one but the main jobby ones haven't appeared yet.

Now for Lion when I go on say a youtube video this happens quite rarely but once or twice a day the whole system hangs and I have to turn off with the button and completely restart I guess its a bug apple will look to fix but I just want to know If anyone gets a similar issue? Another thing is every time I load up it opens programs, webpages etc! I know you can unstick the box but is there a way to set it so that it never opens pages etc upon restart? oh and how do I turn the predictive text off? when I say to my friends did you get my bbm message.. black berry messenger.. It changes it to bum now that gets a few comments when its hardly a typo looking at how the keyboard is set out.

Looking forward to seeing any feedback!
 
Video problem is likely to be caused by flash. Either download the beta of Flash or switch to YouTube HTML5 Beta:

As for re opening apps after reboot, expecting Apple will release a 'fix' in a future update that will remember your previous choice instead of re selecting it every time.

If it really bothers you, you could use AppleScript to run a terminal command that kills all open windows at shutdown/restart.

Predictive Text:
System Preferences > Keyboards > Input Sources > Text > Untick 'Correct spelling automatically'

Iv just had the same sounding hang from Lion too on my mbp, running iplayer and football manager at the same time caused a hard reset from my mac and me having to run the fans on full to get it to cool down...

Bit worrying if flash on lion is causing it though
 
I did suspect it was maybe flash related but I just wanted to see what people thought, Ive left Snow Lep on my Macbook Pro I was thinking of having a clean install on my Imac or just leaving it off for a few weeks until a update is out fixing all the little bugs.
