Macs and PCs can play WMV. I feel it's about quality, file size, and delivery. WMV can be delivered to almost anybody now, quality is better, and file size can be smaller than mpg making it for a faster deliver.
It makes sense to you or not it's the fact buddy. If I'd like to see a drop in my traffic I'd run wmv galleries top of my index lol.

I'm assuming you do not really work with MGPs too much otherwise, you'd know most MGPs require a minimum file size. So wmv or mpeg you gotta meet the minimum meaning you'd use longer/maybe bigger dimension/less compressed wmv movie.. now same file size mpeg will start to play right away whereas wmv you'll have to wait til the entire file is loaded hence person in hurry not going for wmv. Also, different versions of wmv codec could create trouble for surfers not upto date with WMP versions. WMP 11 has made many older wmv movies obsolete/unplayable.. just ask HomeGrown.
