Wait, what do you mean? Right now I have two Gmail tabs open at the same time, one personal, one work. I'm using the multiple accounts feature: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/MultipleSessions https://accounts.google.com/b/0/MultipleSessions You need to keep the accounts separate because enterprise apps have different privacy issues; your employer in enterprise settings is specifically given the ability to see all of your data. Would you really want them seeing your personal account the same way?

A very good point. I also use the same method as you do, but you probably know how flaky this can be sometimes, too (At least if you use all this: Gmail, G+, Analytics, Google Music). You are right that there are cases where you would absolutely would want to have completely separate accounts. That's why I would like to have this as an option: Linking two "services" from different users, or attaching two users/emails to the same service. As it is right now, Google+ for Apps is mostly useless for anyone who already has a G+ account. And I don't think that Google really wants to release mostly useless products.

  I've been holding off from joining Google+ precisely because I didn't want to revert to my GMail account. This was the sane approach to take and especially people in the HN community really can't say they haven't seen this coming.

But Plus is a consumer service (just like Picasa, Youtube, and everything else outside of the core suite) and even though it can theoretically be covered under an enterprise agreement, there is no audit or control capability for domain administrators on the consumer services. This is a deal-breaker for most enterprises, as is the current requirement of public profiles.

  If you go to youtube while using a google apps account it specifically warns you that everything you do can be monitored by your company.

  Domain administrators can completely disable access to these services. I am a Google Apps users and I had to enable Google+ explicitly.
