Exactly, Mark -- I thought the same thing. If it's that simple, how

nobody gets upset about that.

I'd agree with it being classified as a knock-off for now, but I think the plan is definitely to compete in the future.

The interesting part will be what the next language they'll support is, and how soon that comes.

@Eric @cyprien @shawngrimes, Flock's next release will have FF3 under the hood. Using Flock 1.3pre - which is FF3 (disclaimer - I work there).

FF3 is a huge performance improvement over FF2. Most simple add-ons will work the same in FF3, developers just need to update their install.rdf file. Some will need rework.
