As with the linked inboxes, I had my work emails grouped into one inbox on WP8.1 and private in another. Linking them via Microsoft account or 365 account does not offer me the same functionality e.g., being able to identify the mailbox in which the emails have arrived or being able to reply with the appropriate email address.
In my opinion, we should be overly critical over this pre-release and unfinished O/S.
Why?
Because now we have a chance to put it right and not doing so would be shooting our feet off as later it may be too late.
Microsoft of course will want to move forward with their vision, there is nothing wrong with that however if that vision comes at an expense of features that made windows phone great then we need to tell them that is not the right way to go about it. A combined voice is louder than a single person in a mute crowd.
Unfortunately Microsoft has a habit of over-reacting and just chopping off the entire tree as opposed to just the dead branches just to start over from a fresh sap. Primary example, placeholders they take OneDrive to a level of functionality that is impossible to pass up... but the new versions have all or nothing sync approach and that just doesn't work at all (imagine accidently syncing a 10gb folder on a 16gb tablet...
).
