It’s about damned time, too! I’ve been wanting a way to play wmv files and avi files on the macintosh for years now, and it looks like there’s finally a way to do it. A company called Flip4Mac offers the Quicktime components that allow for this, and combined with Microsoft, the two of them have delivered a powerful plugin for Quicktime that makes Windows Media a much more valid authoring and media delivery platform for the Macintosh as well as the PC. The plugin even allows for high definition media! The download is free, and available now; check it out:
