Criticism
The European Committee for Interoperable Systems has said that Microsoft's use of XAML in its Silverlight product aims to introduce content on the World Wide Web that can only be accessed from the Windows platform. Using a plugin, XAML is viewable in some non-Microsoft browsers on Windows and Mac, and Microsoft provides direct support for Novell's development of a Silverlight viewer for GNU/Linux called Moonlight. As of January 2010, Moonlight 2 is a compatible implementation of Silverlight 2.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“...I wasn’t at all prepared for the avalanche of criticism that overwhelmed me. You would have thought I had murdered someone, and perhaps I had, but only to give her successor a chance to live. It was a very sad business indeed to be made to feel that my success depended solely, or at least in large part, on a head of hair.”
—Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world—though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst—the cant of criticism is the most tormenting!”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
