* Internet Explorer 6, 7 for Windows
(Vista, XP SP2 or greater and 2003)
* Firefox 1.5, 2, 3 for Windows
(Vista, XP SP2 or greater and 2003)
* Firefox 1.5, 2, 3 for Mac
(OS 10.4.8 or greater, Intel only)
* Safari 2 & 3 for Mac
(OS 10.4.8 or greater, Intel only)

There's gotta be a way...

| I also have a non-intel mac, so I'll be using the following "hack" to watch videos:
1. Steal my brother's Macbook Pro
2. Watch fencing

| What os do you have on the mac?
It says that Silverlight should work on Firefox/SeaMonkey/Mozilla and Safari with Mac OS 10.4/10.5 PowerPC.
There is something called Moonlight though... It's a 3rd party version of Silverlight that works on Linux... So... you could reinstall Linux through VirtualBox and use FF in Linux to watch it, but you probably won't

Complex solution: Run an emulator over your mac. Buy a $200+ vista installation (or buy an old xp, it'll be better). Then, spend 1 hr+ trying to install it.
Oh, I almost forgot... Extremely simple solution...: buy a pc...

| Well, can you run Windows on it? It would be wrong though for someone to go and download a torrent of windows 98 SE and run that over virtualbox... >_>

| although i usually hate emulators, they're just another obstacle. i usually cant getum to work either... meh oh well!
i prefer to install linux straight by means of a .iso file, then burning onto a cd. (or in the case of open suse, a dvd)

| I'm more familiar with VirtualBox. It's by Sun Microsystems and I know that it supports many operating systems.

(or in the case of open suse, a dvd) | On VB, once you have the Vdrive made, you can into the settings, on cd drive, and there's a place where you choose the .iso to mount. It runs that .iso as if it were a cd. Then you install, shut it down, and remove that .iso and it boots the virtual machine into the recently installed OS.
