I'd assumed it was a deeper integration based on an interview I'd read somewhere. Maybe on Engadget. The HTC rep was asked about it and he/she responded that this wasn't simply a skin over Android. That they'd put a lot of work into it. That still may be true (as I mentioned above), but it still is surprising that turning Sense on and off is as easy as it is.
