Salesforce has this capability and it is very useful.

Additionally I'ld recommend to have n Security Roles linked to record types. It must be possible to have specific Business Processes, Flows/Workflows, Business Rules and (as already said:) Forms depending on the "Record Type"

I totally agree. This is a main differentiator of Salesforce. this feature allows Salesforce to implement their CRM in complex business process environments and enterprise environments.
Adding this feature would bring Dynamics a huge step ahead!
