Hey, thanks, "no longer the man". But you still remember how to
stream/receive WMV, right :-)
This is all very helpful. If a bit convoluted...
Sounds like MS shot themselves a bit in the foot regarding Mac support.

Frank,
1. I am no longer "the man" for WMT, more like the enemy as my
company has stated to the WMT team that we will be adding Flash to
our delivery options this year.
2. WMT on a Mac.
A. Pre-Intel macs running OSX simple use WMP9
B Intel Macs - here is info from our support group which also makes
the slide shows work:
If you have Flip4Mac installed, go to System Preferences and
disable.
Go to Applications folder and ctrl-click your browser icon
(Safari, Firefox, etc).
Select: Get Info
Under general, check mark/click "Open using Rosetta".
Now, Quit and Reopen your browser and go to the webcast you are
having trouble with. It may take a minute or two to load (it may
appear to be "connecting...") and it will. Once it does, you will
see the slides move.
Please remember to revert these settings when complete otherwise
your browser will continue to function in Rosetta mode. It may
help to do this an a secondary internet browser if you plan to view
webcasts often.
3. Codecs - sorry, don't know codec situation well as we control
our codecs and always have to use legacy (WM7V, WM8V with WMA9).
4. DRM - no DRM for Flip4Mac as far as I know
5. OSX stability with Flip4Mac - Can't help here as we tell people
to disable the product.
