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:
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
