I believe there is a picture of this technique in the dictionary next to "inelegant."

To me this is the main difference between Apple and MS/partners. Apple gives you elegance but at the price of some features/flexibility/configurability. The Slate will give you the features and you can hack to your heart's content, but it will lack elegance. Pick your poison...
