We've had a feature in Notes for awhile (since Notes 6 if memory serves and if I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me), where you can put various documents, links, etc. in the "Startup" folder and they automatically start up as window tabs on Notes launch.

In Notes 8, we've automatically added Mail, Calendar, and Contacts applications to your startup folder.



You are welcome to add more or remove some or all of these by clicking right on the entries in the "Startup" folder and doing a "Remove".

You can also control whether Notes remembers to re-open window tabs that were there when you shutdown.   Some people love it enabled (they like to get right back to where they were) and some people hate it (they like starting with a clean slate).   That control is in the preferences menu under File/Preferences.   As long as I'm on this screenshot, notice the settings around window management to control how window tabs open in Notes 8.  Try the choices and see what you like.
