They should do no problem. I do know that WMP for Mac can pose problems
when the user tries to open a WM file that is hosted on a dedicated Windows
Media server using the mms streaming protocol - generally you have to
manually enter the url into the WM player. Which is a bitch if the file is
linked to via an asx metafile or similar. And is also a bitch if you're
expecting heavy usage of the file, in which case you'd want it to be hosted
on a streaming server. But if you're linking straight to the file itself
which is hosted on a standard web server (progressive download) then it
should be fine on a Mac.

As far as I know.
